The heating and cooling is definitely not as balanced as a ducted system, but it's good enough.

Not the best job in the world, but good enough for my purposes. 

If you get a good enough price you will be able to flip the deal to an investor for a fee.

Either of those may be an option for you but the deal has to be good enough to not only cover all your "normal" costs associated with a flip, but also the additional cost of getting $ from these sources.

If you are good enough with your research and learns that the property is fairly priced, then offer just a little less than the listing price.Find out why the house is on saleIf it is a foreclosure property, it makes sense to bargain.

Even if you work with PMs, being close to your properties will still be a plus.Also decide whether cash flow is most important for you, or good enough cash flow with less hassle, higher quality tenants, or even appreciation potential.

and if you then consider the money saved in year 2, 3, 4, etc... that's pretty good. but again, if you go and refi out of this in 4-5 years, you'll just have pretty much broken even with making that extra investment up front. if the rate is fixed for 10+ years and you'd wanna stay in it that long, like you don't feel like you'll be able to get a good enough refi option in that time to get out of this loan for a lower rate elsewhere.. then i'd probably do it.

And she decided I was not good enough for her.  

I asked for good/reasonable/reliable because getting 2 of those 3 is probably good enough.

Personally, just the facts and as-is price is good enough for me.
