I am replacing my 75K BTU, 80% efficiency, natural gas furnace.

I think natural wood is the easiest to maintain myself I would pick something durable, maybe on closeout or a discontinued line.

Anyways I had met a few people that were doing quite well with AirBnB (due to a lack of quality rentals here) and the general transient nature of Topeka's population - seems a lot of people dont stay here long and I can see why. 

@Russell Brazil is that just the nature of refi?

The company itself will want to sell you on all it offers, naturally, but speak to others who use them to find out how things really work.Good luck to you!

So naturally I feel inclined to pull the trigger since I've already invested all of that time. 

Some cities will not even allow us to expand a driveway or add extra parking to the more than adequate front lawn.Then again we inherited a duplex that had parking on the block behind the home.

@Britt Angel This is the Whole purpose of a “walls in” policy....to cover damage from a natural event or by Someone else (ie. your upstairs neighbor let’s their tub overflow).

For instance, by nature, most (though certainly not all) QOZ funds will be investing in "up and coming" areas, wheres there are no geographical constraints to a traditional 1031 investments. 

In many markets you have to add value since natural market appreciation value is low.
