I would offer to do it myself but I'm a .net programmer not a rails developer :)

My overall objective here is to find a way to keep the ball rolling in my real estate career despite putting my career as a programmer temporarily on hold.

I actually have a couple of friends who have been traveling the world for about eight months, working online from their laptops/Air BNB's - I'm sure if you'd like to pick their brains, they'd be happy to share their experience with you (they're both programmers?).

Each unit will have its own thermostat and be able to control the heat resulting in fewer tenant complaints 3.

I'm sort of a data nerd/programmer and I'm starting a new REI data business starting coverage first in DFW. 

I'm a computer programmer by trade, but I'm tired of the corporate rat race and want to get into Real Estate full time.

Upgrade/repair/replace existing boiler items that need it, go w/ window AC units and see if you can legally have thermostats that have a maximum setpoint of 72 degrees.

@Sarah MorrisIt sounds like you have a high-ratio mortgage under a housing programme such as FHA.  

Have two 3-families with all separate utilities.  NOI was $12000 per year per property before $7K mortgage interest..  Ready to sign a purchase agreement on a 4 family.  agreed on price, selling for $150 less then at ...

I am also lucky that my wife is a computer programmer that currently is helping her with a half day office time and still paying her full time.I am also lucky that I spent so much time with h her growing up but I have missed some of her college but she is now in her 3rd year and being paid by the university to Tudor other college students at The University of Arkasas.
