We remedied the situaiton by installing 1 mini-split on the lower level.At another ranch house with boiler heat, which the previous owner had updated with a newer high efficiency unit shortly before our purchase, we added central air with the entire unit and all the ductwork in the attic. 

My name is Max Nelson, I am a Bay Area based Investor with a single Family home in Santa Cruz, CA that is a Short Term/Mid Term Rental and a Duplex in Bend, Oregon.

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

Could stocks drop a lot very shortly - sure.

Since you already have experience with both short-term and long-term rentals, house hacking a duplex could be a smart next move.

Upon searching the popular areas my graduate friends suggested (Uptown, The Village, Greenville), I have determined there is no way I can justify renting a property in that range.Funny enough, I am currently living out of a 2 bedroom condo north of Dallas (short term air bnb) for my internship with one of my college friends (we split rent).

Based on your description, it sounds as if you're asking about the City's housing authority, is that correct?

Glad you made your way here.. are you eyeing long-term rentals or short-term flips?

This property also launched my short-term rental journey, running our first Airbnb before transitioning it to a steady cash-flowing rental, allowing us to scale into bigger projects.

I am on pace to finish the course before the beginning of March and my short term goal is to join a brokerage firm before May.
