The operating agreement would dictate how this would be done.I will link a couple articles that can help clarify what I am talking about.

Having said that I understand what a lot are saying about sticking to the lease and not having the tenant dictate the terms of the lease agreement.

@Charlie Moore The licensing requirements are dictated by your state.

I would use the resources like yellowpages, google reviews, ask at a real estate investor meeting or maybe sign up for Angie's list and find the best HVAC company and installer who, stands behind the product, is willing to educate you on the right equipment and provide you a fair quote.Your investment strategy, and what the standard is in your area will dictate the price.I would look for the Highest seer, with a good warranty 10 compressor, 10 year parts, look for one with quiet technology (compressor sound blanket, motor mounts, Air handler blower motor, air flow designed for quietness) and ease of service for the air filter, air handler coil cleaning, overflow float switch, and access or instruction on drip pan tablets/liquid and drain line cleaning.What I look for in a HVAC installer is someone who is proficient and not on the phone or looking through the manual a lot.  

I have had professionals come and groom the evergreen bushes, I think they contrast nicely with the brick.Here's the property.https://www.zillow.com/homedet...Normally I prefer to see the brush cut back, but on this style home, with the beautiful floor to ceiling windows it works nicely as as.From the outside it softens the lines and from the inside it provides privacy.Beautiful duplex in what looks like (from the pics) a nice professional neighborhood.If you were not selling, it looks like it would draw nice renters.Looks like a nice place many would like to house hack.If I lived there it would be hard to say no to a big patio out back, but numbers dictate these things, not desires.Good Luck!

You have the right as the landlord to choose not to renew their lease and I would simply give them the notice to vacate as dictated per your original lease terms. 

I'm still waiting for my appraisal to come back which in large part will dictate how much money I'm putting towards the down payment and the appraisal gap coverage.

What I hate about condos is that the association generally has too much power and can dictate if the condos can be rented or not, increase the fees, etc.

Janann Chan Logic dictates that the usage should decrease assuming they have a gas furnace.

2- is this dictated, or influenced, by the areas I am investing in?
