A/C is an exact item, I have never not once had an HVAC tech say "well, let's try this and see what happen, then maybe this and see, then that n see". ....demands id that everything is fixed right away.Uh-huh.

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.

@C Rutherford you may not want to hear this, but:YOU CANNOT SURVIVE OFF THESE 5 RENTALS!

Quote from @Shawn Sopic: When you bought it, it didn't have A/C, so I suspect other buyers will do the same.Installing A/C may not provide a dollar-for-dollar return, but it can make the home more attractive to buyers and enable you to sell it faster.If you spend $10,000 to install the A/C, you can expect it to increase the sales price $5,000 or less.

Easy answer - NoThe tenant should be able to cool their unit/home to 70 if they would like, if the A/C will not compete with that and stops working because of that then the landlord will be responsible for fixing/replacing it!

C+ class homes that are always in higher demand in good economic times and bad.

@Richard Benjamin Wilhite unless you setup a C-Corp and pay double taxes, any income will flow through to your personal 1040 via Schedule E.

As a general rule, each entity that files a separate tax return (partnership, s-corp, c-corp, etc) will need its own QBO subscription.

Any "C" average student can be a millionaire by the time they are 43.REI types:1. 

About half my rentals are C-class and rented to people below middle-class.
