@Jeremy Marshall - as an upstate NY investor who has experience with many of these heating methods(natural gas forced air vs electric resistance heat, as well as gas/steam, oil/hot water, natural gas space heat,) I strongly recommend natural gas forced air over electric baseboard heat.

Path of least resistance. 

This new stuff is waterproof and scratch resistant. 

Otherwise, you're actually taking the path of most resistance and making this process significantly more challenging than it would be.

So far this year, we have successfully resisted the urge to buy.

The detectives revealed seizing a large amount of substance to be crack cocaine, ecstasy, cash, paraphenalia convicted felon in possession of a handgun, resisting arrest, tampering with physical evidence.

If they are being too resistant with seeing the appraisal and giving you the address, move on to the next one. 

SF is probably going to be the path of least resistance as there are more of them, but you may find a great MF deal and go with that. 

Someone just emailed me saying...Steve,  it's comical reading the posts on that rounding the price topic at the "resistance" of so many to do something so easy to better ensure their buyer's loan makes it through the Bank of America or Wells Fargo processing phase with the least amount of potential issues as possible"

So after I factor in costs for vacancy, man't, reserves, etc. if I am getting my desired # or better than I am in.I supposed I could also do the probate thing to hunt down off market deals in my area since MLS deal days are gone, but I search for the path of least resistance for my money and my time.
