I even contemplated working only turnaround work in the refineries during spring and fall, leaving the summer open to do a flip ever year.

For our MTRs in Denver and Colorado Springs, we see about 1.4x rents for MTR v LTR.

Remodeled a house before that had several animals as pets in the house (dogs and cats both) the animals were not let outside to use the bathroom (from what it looked like ever) we sanded down the hardwood filled a pump up sprayer with the odorxit (super contracted stuff mix as stated in bottle) sprayed all of the floors till they were soaked with it then opened the windows to let it all air dry.

I did this for my first house hack in Colorado Springs and it worked great. 

Should I put in split air for ac/heat? 

Its good to have a crawlspace vented, but less than ideal in winter time when air is dry anyways and cold because you are trying to heat your house.

At least here in Denver and Colorado Springs, where annual appreciation over the last 40 years has averaged 4-6% even with some major housing recessions, appreciation is where you make your most money.

Consider replacing central air at the same time if you have it.

Fellow BPers,A2Z has been a breath of fresh air compared to my previous property manager, so far so good!
