trying to become more efficient at finding commercial tenants for the newnan market

@J Scott put out two books that will help you estimate/perform rehab costs in an efficient way.

Be careful of spinning your wheels and wasting time - we have to be as efficient as possible to win at this game!

If we go with High Efficiency Gas furnaces and duct work I can take out two chimneys and greatly improve the layout.

It's OK that there are all these problems because I KNOW the next one will be done more efficiently no matter what.

It just means you must find out what is necessary to put the brakes on the actual foreclosure, or you must work as efficiently as possible to get the short sale approved before the foreclosure date.  

Well worth keeping it but updating it to a more modern and efficient system.

What are some of your best tips to efficiently manage time? 

Here is a 12k btu one that is supposed to operate below freezing for about $900:http://www.sogoodtobuy.com/12000-btu-mini-split-ai...These types of units are also supposed to be more efficient than central air anywayI've also had good luck with portable heat pumps in my own home but they are a little bit noisey compared to the mini splits but they are also about a third of the cost.

I think it's great you're trying to come up with tools and systems to make you more efficient.
