If the weather gets excessively hot or cold, covered parking is even more valuable, especially for men who tend to baby their automobiles.

After purchasing, I removed all the radiators, boilers, and the large oil tank, then installed 2 central heating/cooling system's with air duct's throughout the entire home. 

All I did was take 10,000 sign some papers and created 150,000 in equity out of thin air.

Additionally, installing a makeup air system along with a ducted vent hood seems impractical and costly.I've considered alternative options such as a recirculating vent hood, but I'm concerned about its effectiveness in removing grease and smoke. 

I think you are in a really good situation if you can find a way to make it work, given that low interest rate and what people in this thread are saying is a hot market. 

I’m active duty Air Force and got my start in REI by maxing out my VA loan benefit with three properties.

If it's a hot lead we try to call every month LOL because in my market a seller can say one thing and than sell the next day.

From my perspective I would definitely separate the utilities for heat and hot water whether that is gas or electric.

Some areas here may have rent by the room ordinances for non-family so you would want to check, but single-family homes in the same areas should be selling as hot or hotter than multi-family.

I agree with Sam and air on the side of caution with using a free lease from any site.
