The tenants know the mini split is their best bet for controlling temp on their side, but they do not want to not pay for the energy to run it and would prefer the gas gets used (gas is included in their lease.) 

The better the planner the better the progress, the more efficient the journey. 

@Natasha BradfordTo save your hard-earned cash and energy, I strongly suggest signing up for one of the many wholesale programs available.

Here is a framework to think about how buying properties creates the most tax efficiency for you.The 6 levers of depreciation:Lever 1 - % of LandOne of the components of a property is land.Land is NOT DEDUCTIBLE, so low value land properties mean more tax deduction.A value of your overall purchase will be assigned to the land or lot.You receive no near-term tax benefits for buying land.For example - If you buy a $2 MM industrial building outside a rural town on 5 acres, the land value could be $5k an acre.

Without knowing your exact situation on time, energy, and capital it's hard to limit down to a market. 

What it does do is put the burden on the user to be more energy efficient.  

Direct marketing can be pretty time/energy consuming, have you considered buying directly from wholesalers?

The biggest opportunity we saw with this property was operational and management efficiencies.

If more investors spend a fraction of the time and energy spent worrying about asset protection and do the things on a daily basis that prevents liability exposure, plaintiffs attorneys won’t eat as well. 

The methodology of the study would not have been able to capture that nuance.Unfortunately, for the last few years, there has been a missed opportunity for Ogden to take advantage of the comparatively lower price points and really cater to smaller pocket books with energy to rehabilitate the old houses.
