However, pictures are easy to manipulate and make it very hard to enforce the quality.Additionally, I welcome any personal experiences or challenges you've encountered during your projects and how you managed to overcome them.

Think of it like running a window AC and turning it around in the winter.The issue, according to the contractor I talked with is that in very cold weather (think single-digit temps or colder) , heat pumps are unable to produce a large amount of heat. 

I have manipulated numbers on offers based on my personal situation.

I do have an agent now but my agent was out of town so he wasnt there when I saw the property.I do still want the property but I am trying to renegotiate the deal based on things I found in the inspection.Lesson learned I need to get the lease in the future.To be honest the rent doesn’t really bother me I just don’t like the fact it feels like she tried to manipulate me.

I assume this is a temp situation anyways.

That said the only thing that really matters from the LP view is the total return and IRRs but it’s mostly manipulated by under the hood assumptions that most LP don’t have a clue which corners are cut to get there.

Our temps are warm enough it should not pose a freezing problem inside.

This at least seemed to get me the ability for the tenants to set their own temps in their units and provide both heating and cooling, but I don't know if it's really viable. 

These 2 unites are with in walking distance to ASU Tempe Campus.

Iam currently able to purchase such in downtown/midtown Phoenix, Tempe town lake, and downtown Scottsdale for $150-$200 per square foot - and rent them out for $1.50 - $2.00 per square foot per month.
