We have a single HVAC system that heats/cools the entire home.

I went back to the webinar through a different device and saw that they had also added a link to access his Gator Method for $2,997.

It's a little device you pair with your cell phone.

Austin area seems like a cool techie area with good rental demand.  

I like using these for just this case.Another item to consider is since this is a 2nd floor I wouldn't be that worried since the 1st floor will heat the 2nd floor enough to not allow frozen pipes.I would also talk to an HVAC person because I believe they can also put a device to cycle the heat a few times a day or even put a secondary thermostat in the apt to take care of the minimum issues.I feel for you because otherwise you have a great tenant.

If they are the one providing most of the cash, they might not want to carry that liability, but you've already negotiated with your partners on this and then the bank isn't cool with it, you could be in a pickle.

I think this was good old Mr Cooper lol That's cool!

Very cool- awesome to see the ambition!

New floors, appliances, heating/cooling, etc.

The unit shares the same heating and cooling as my own house.
