My mechanic just bought a house there and one my friend's who's a teacher.

I know some very good people working for H&R (I don't know why they work there though, haha)The key is to find a competent person and create a long-term relationship, just like in any other important area: doctors, mechanics etc.

I have my license but mainly use it to look at the back end of deals, I spend most of my time working as a mechanic for my company.I will try to find a local CPA who can sit with us and knows more about the REI.

There are City specifics that you'll either need to (A) learn or (B) pay someone to know for you, but much of the cost and complexity and time comes from the CA-wide plumbing, fire, mechanical, and other codes. 

But it's an art, just like choosing a good doctor or auto mechanic.

I prefer mechanically cleaning the drains,  especially if you want environmentally friendly. 

Fiverr for SEO is like hiring the fiat mechanic down the street to service your Ferarri... they'll be able to work on it... but they'll probably break something or permanently damage something in the process. 

The fees for every transaction + the mechanics of going through the custodian for everything is a pain.

To name a few:Wall modification and drywall patching for new ductwork locationsFloor plan modification - You will need to build-out of mechanical closets to house the furnaces for each unit which will alter the floor planA/C - Not sure what the existing cooling system is, but the new heating system could effect the cooling systemElectrical - May need new electrical panels to accommodate the furnace load, & wiring to power the new furnace unitsWith that said, I think this could easily cost over $5,500 a unit when you consider these additional scopes of work.I would highly recommend getting in touch with a local HVAC contractor who can provide some insight on the construction considerations & costs as apart of your due diligence.
