Not only did they pay to replace the gate, but it slightly damaged the very old motor.

Getting 2 x 4 tons and a crane took almost a week as I didn’t want to spend extra on trane units. if you don’t need large units or they aren’t roof mounted that will pry also save time/money. 

Other downsides for the window units I see are interior water intrusion issues, exterior erosion issues, having to mount brackets and/or install/remove them each year or pay someone to do this, potential lawsuits if installed incorrectly, and issues with the windows they are installed on. 

All walk ups,  we will be using PTACs for HVAC, but I think I can add a UVC+HEPA wall mount filter unit that would effectively scrub the air.  

I am thinking of putting in an RV dumping with electric hook ups for potential renting out the plot to a motor home, tiny home or container home.  

People think being a landlord is easy :)  If the AC isn't fixed by Monday when the tech comes, I as a landlord, would rescind my cash offer in this case and purchase a window mount unit and get at least one room cold for the tenant until the issue is resolved.I actually had the AC die on a tenant last year. 

Split up the money into four parts. 1. layered CD's you won't lose but little gain like 1.5-2% 2. buy 10 individual stocks of products that you understand and believe can grow in the coming economy- tiny houses, ADU's, bleach, beer can production, tents, cheap motor homes, grocery chains, you know the stuff... avoid retail, big box, restaurant chains, travel 3. use for down payment to buy AFTER Halloween another rental in different market - college town is good idea. 4. pay down with the remainder

Looking to grow my contractor network with people who work in the Raleigh/Durham, Fayetteville, and Rocky Mount NC areas.Competitive pricing and reliability is a must.Connect with me if you or someone you know can help.Thanks

They often mount on the wall (can even do a ceiling vent if desired) and then a small compressor outside.

Best deals I think are in places like Mount Vernon or close by that are value adds which will still go for a little less than100k per unit.
