I'm also looking for a mentor around the Central Florida area if possible!

Many people automatically think electric resistance baseboards (or electrical coils in a central air-handler), but your ancillary heat could be easily fuelled with natural gas, propane, oil or another fuel.Presuming your use of "furnace" means a forced air furnace and not a boiler and hydronic heat, you have the option of adding a heat pump with an exchanger insert in the plenum of your existing ductwork.  

2) The fireplace is not in a central part of the family room and makes for an awkward placement of tv or furniture, would a fireplace be a major selling point for many buyers or can i just completely remove?

Hey everyone, Does anyone have any recommendations for investor-friendly real estate agents in the central maine area (Augusta/Lewiston)?

There is no central AC, and it's still a real dive. 

Here are the properties that have interested me (not sure if either are section 8):Duplex built in 2002 consisting of 3/2 1050sq/ft each for $94,900Currently both units occupied with $670/month leases (not sure of the lease terms).New roof in 2015, new Central A/C units in 2013 and 2015.Outside looks good, inside looks clean with decent kitchens (basic L shaped) with laminate counters, tile floor in kitchens, what looks to be berber carpeting everywhere else.

We inherited some shady tenants that our property manager has gotten rid of and done a LOT of work to move in better tenants, but, on top of needing to be subdivided, it is currently nickel and diming us to death, plus we need two new roofs and all of the central AC units need to be replaced soon.

Any central PA presences online here?
