===Remove one at a time the above strong offer bullets and your offer gets weaker and weaker till its no better then any joe blow's financed, 10 day DD, $500 earnest money offer. 

I like the concept if the list, but a simple bullet point list would come off as less intimidating and lawyerly.  

Once I get these twins off to kindergarten and the teenagers of to college I feel like more time and energy could be spent developing my own business.  

We currently pay utilities, but would prefer to put them back on to the tenants and plan to do so regardless of whatever hvac system we go with.Since there is existing duct work, would it be better for us to just bite the bullet and install central air for each unit or are the ductless systems the better option?

People often discount how invaluable it is when you can DRIVE THRU your market literally 2nd step - Found a business partner whom I knew would become a friend and whose energy matched mine.3rd - Jump in there and buy the first one.

Pay with time and energy and manage yourself, or pay a management fee to do what you would do.

So if it were me, I'd keep calling around to try to get a daytime (non-emergency) call sooner than the 8th.If you've accepted biting the bullet and getting a new one I'm surprised you wouldn't be able to get someone faster.

I'm a serial investor and I met my business partner who totally matched my energy and we decided to dive in blind and luckily found a good deal.

Then he heard bullets going overhead. 

However, the time, cash, and energy that I spend on the reno projects are real bottleneck for me.
