I make a lot of offers and even with the e-signatures in software like docusign I don't want to have to "sign" every line for every offer I make and, more so, I don't want to have to check the document to make sure everything is accurate insofar as how it binds me to the offer.

Step one:/Download the beginners guide to real estate investing, if you have not already acquired the e-book from Bigger Pockets.

I have a rental in a golf community built in the 70s with EBB heat.Each unit has its own built in thermostat, so it takes some tweaking to get the settings just right, based on the usage of each room (don't forget bathrooms, etc).Also, in PA, you can select your energy generation company but all of them tend to increase rates in winter.
