Floor heat, crawl space, hardwood floors, AC units on pads are all considerations.

A heating and cooling company I called offers a $10/mo per boiler unit deal, where you get 30% off all installed parts.

My husband and I are based in Austin TX and we are searching for a second home (preferably condo but can do house, max budget $300K) in the Northern Sates (great lakes, finger lakes and upper new york states) where we can get away from the 100+ degree summer heat and airbnb out the property during non-summer seasons in places that can generate cash flow for us.Curious if anyone has experiences owning short term rentals in these regions and which places would you recommend that fit our search criteria?

When you get a new tenant, that’s when the inspection is super important, especially on safety issues with windows, screens, heating, electrical etc…

She says she is nauseous from the heat.

If and when the tenant moves you only need to politely request that nail holes are repaired and walls are painted and that is when you can get a little more-heated up, but the cost to clean up holes made by smoke detector devices is zero to very insignificant because landlords have to clean and paint, anyway.

Complaints about lack of heating and cooling in upstairs new townhouse.

Work needed: NEW ROOF, NEW INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DOORS, NEW LVT FLOORING THROUGHOUT, TRIMWORK, UPDATED ELECTRICAL PANEL, ELECTRIC BASEBOARD HEAT CONVERTED TO HEAT PUMP (CENTRAL AIR DUCTWORK ALREADY IN PLACE), POSSIBLY A SMALL WALL KNOCKED DOWN, REFRAMING OF CLOSETS, KITCHEN AND 2 FULL BATHS REDONE PRETTY MUCH TOP TO BOTTOM. 

Generally you treat the unit with high heat to kill them all and it is not cheap to get the correct treatment.  

Your best long-term solution is to install the mini-splits for heat/AC.
