The reason most houses built today have forced hot air is because you can use the same ducts for air conditioning so it normally ends up cheaper.

@Luis VacaThe market is so hot right now that it is a fabulous time to sell.

Also the water never gets really hot even though the unit is turned up.Thanks in advance.

Due to us being novices, we look at each sector and think that the market is TOO HOT or its out of our price range.

We’ve been on a long run (10-ish years) and I live in a particularly hot city (Austin, TX).

It's a hot market, but there are still plenty of deals to be had!

Their would be no dryer option with the cold water feeding both hot and cold tap on the hookup due to I have to foot the water bill and would be specified in the lease. 

It seems like the highest they've been in recent memory is 8.5-9% back in early 2000s, generally have been floating in the 7's, and in super hot markets have gotten into the 5's.If I'm attempting to forecast my apartment building's value at sale in few years (3/5/10yrs), can I be reasonably confident that the cap rate will remain within +/- 1.0% in my local area?

@James Wierzba cash flow in a hot area like Seattle will be extremely difficult.
