The central air conditioning is not working in my rental in Aurora, CO Thanks, -Darren

I live in FL so I know about having to use A\C year round.As you know people mention a brand and price but not model which will ultimately determine the total cost.I was in the exact same situation and due to the rusted coil tubing, and overall condition of the Air Handler decided for a total A\C replacement.Payne is considered "Builders Grade" lowest grade and some A\C guys argue not to install them because it reflects on their reputation when you have problems with the system.Look for the highest seer rated, quietest, best warranty HVAC that is fairly priced.The installer is a HUGE part of the HVAC's life span, along with your regular changing filters, cleaning coils when needed, cleaning drain lines and vacuuming dust out of the Air Handler Cabinet.

Our weather hits all the extremes, I think most good quality people expect cent/heat & air.  

I currently work full time as an air traffic controller and looking for opportunities to generate active and passive income through rental properties, flips, wholesales, etc.

Then I got a call from my tenant at 7:30 this morning that the air wasn't working again.  

Just determination, focus, and a lot of work.Also, and I don't toot my own horn very often, but I feel there are some REALLY good nuggets of info in this thread: I quit my CPA Job to Buy Large Apartment BuildingsFinally I had the privilege of doing a BP Podcast that will air on August 13, 2015 so keep an eye out for the link and I hope you will be able to listen in and learn a thing or too.

The Lease needs to be clear in its definition of what you are trying to accomplish here which is that the Tenant pays for all of the operating and maintenance expenses of the property.In addition be sure to include an understanding of who pays for major capital replacements (not just maintenance) such as replacement of the heating and air-conditioning units, water and sewer lines, electrical mains, roofs, glass, etc.

Hire a certified industrial hygienist to perform an air quality test (recommend this over a test kit you can buy at a store since those typically do not hold up in court.

I think central heat/air could go out of style if ductless heat pumps become cheaper and easier to install or if window/portable heat pumps become cheaper, more compact/sleek, or more efficient.

IE what they buy today they plan on building on in 10 years..In Oregon it used to be we could buy a 20 acre site.. get it approved for 120 lots in 90 days build it out and have sticks in the air in 9 to 10 months.the gresham project that I have posted about ( with your help )  its taken right at 20 months to go from contract to sticks in the air.. we broke ground last week on the first 6 homes.
