It will take you 270 (75% occupancy) nights of air bnb to break even on piti alone before expenses of rental. 

I knew somebody had already attended to it because there was a huge dehumidifier and an air blower plugged in that did not belong to me.

IF so take an air compressor and blow the line out. 

Get a nice air mattresses or two for the common areas to increase your maximum occupancy.

My plucked out of the air guess is a trust might add $1,000 to the cost of a deal. 

One suggests converting into mini splits for reasons 1. units already wired for electricity heating and lots of work have been done2. mini splits are more energy efficient than current system3. it provides air conditioning in summer which would be attractive to tenantsAnother suggests going back to boiler because electricity is just too expensive.

We didn't pluck this number out of thin air.
