There have been stories of tenants intentionally causing damage, such as purposefully leaving a faucet running to increase the water bill and damage the property.

If you find that properties without central AC are sitting on the market longer or renting for significantly less, that could be a sign that it’s an important feature in Columbus.Ultimately, while the lack of central AC might narrow your tenant pool, it doesn’t have to be a deal breaker if you can find ways to compensate, either through rent pricing or future upgrades.

I have a great property in PHX that we have listed for sale, but I would be interested in running an RAL out of my house (already furnished, 5 bed 3 bath, single story ranch style home with two master bedrooms and a pool). 

Reston is a truly masterfully planned community, with 55 miles of paved pathways, tennis courts and pools in every neighborhood, and several beautiful lakes that make the area very attractive to live in for residents.

Quote from @Arvin Poole: Hello,I am seeking a HELOC on a duplex in Austin.

So I’m in a bit of a bind, I have a duplex I’m house hacking we remodeled entire thing, new hvac, electric panels, electric main, updated plumbing, water heaters, furnace, install central air, roof.

But that's a smaller pool of buyers here. 

It's required by ordinance that the water be changed between each guest.There may be a certain amount of trial and error as you work with your cleaning/maintenance staff, communicate well with them but give them space to do their jobs, and if it doesn't seem to be working out, go to someone else.  

Not to mention insurance, LABOR, water/sewer rates, building materials, etc.
