I called in a Hvac contractor to get his opinion and he insisted that the duct work was built to heat a one family home and apparently putting another unit in (i had a gas line installed to the home 2019) would be very difficult to do assuming the lay out of current duct work so having it re routed would be difficult.

These lay out good strategies depending on your circumstances, but essentially they will tell you to save money first, then invest once you have enough capital built up to deal with the inevitable problems that occur in a house.Good luck!

Lay out the responses of each vendor and see how those persimmons to persimmons comparisons stack up?

My advice: get standard, normal houses, no funky layouts.

Sorry for the long post - just trying to lay out all the info I can right now - thanks for any input

The possibilities are endless with so much space and layout.

Do contractors generally wait for insurance funds to kick in or do I need to lay out the down payment?

Each unit is 2/1 with the same layout and the drain pipe runs in the middle with the kitchen on the first floor and bathrooms on the second floor above the kitchen.

Lay out the numbers as I see them to explain why I'm interested?

I lay out in the lease options to pay and they are forced to pay it that way.
