Forced air heat is by far the best to have in a rainy locale like the Pacific Northwest, as it helps prevent mold and moisture problems.

Haha - let's analyze this:I went on the Cardone Zone and analyzed a 12-unit in Columbus Ohio on the air.  

The panel may still be fuse blocks.2) significant new plumbing:  you quite likely have a mixture of cast iron and galvanized waste lines (though copper is a possibility) and may have galvanized supply lines;3) envelope: the house will likely have no more than R5 insulation mineral batt insulation ... or worse, someone blew in UFFI in the 1970s ... and will not be air sealed;4) Roof: The roof will have been redone - likely 2-3 times ... multiple layers may still be up there ;-)  There is also a good chance the roof is not correctly ventilated as closed soffits were the norm;5) Fenestration - If it has original windows and doors, they will be hugely inefficient (single glazed windows with storms)6) Interior:  Our house was built in 1952 and they still used "Rock Board" with plaster over top on all the interior walls.  7) HVAC:   Please tell me its not the original furnace or boiler;8) Landscaping : How have the grounds and outbuildings been maintained.You could be looking at a full gut to do this properly.  

I'm an Air Force guy myself and just started buying property back in April.

They pretty much all require egress ... even in places where they lock the doors once the workers are inside, the buildings are constructed with egress.But whether you are 10 stories underground or 50 stories in the air egress may be of marginal benefit.

We are looking to do a cash out refinance, but currently that is still up in the air.

Anyone know how to research air rights assigned (if at all) on a commercial property?
