We also keep reminding ourselves it needs to cash flow by spending as little money as we need to...whenever you get an expensive idea, ask yourself if there's a less costly, more creative way to get around it to run your business more efficiently. 

My recommendation is... don't share in the workplace... but share out side of work...

I can help to answer any questions that you may have about the process, efficiency, and how we operate our portfolio and those of our customers. 

Just trying to use the little money I have saved as efficiently as possible.

Just curious if anyone has ever bought an old motel and turned it into efficiency apartments or done anything else with them.

Only one gas line, so I cannot add additional furnaces, and quite frankly I believe it cost prohibitive given the rents in the area.My other thought was to do baseboard heaters, I do not know the effectiveness of the heat, and it's my understanding that it's expensive to run for the tenants.At this point in considering putting a high-efficiency furnace with a thermostat that is going at the moment to the unit on the top given that it's the biggest.

Would it be more cost efficient to have window units for each bedroom?

@Adam Adams that's a great reminder and strategy on efficiency!  

Then you can compare with what you get with PM, you'll find conforming is wayyy better. at the very least, you'll have an exit strategy in-place so if you chose to go PM for the purchase, you can efficiently refi out of it as soon as possible and into a long-term, lower rate loan.Hope this helps, sorry for the length! 

Shipping containers contain a lot of metal which is known to absorb heat very efficiently and long lived.
