The current system is 16 years old and is still functioning, I am just looking to get it replaced as it's not the most efficient (turns on and off often) and two of the companies mentioned it's too powerful of a system for my place (100 BTU vs about 80 that is needed).

Then from there you'll have to figure out how to maneuver through the partnership, JV process.Kudos to you for begging your journey. 

Architects are typically really good at understanding design, functionality, maximizing spaces (design), building codes, etc.

We just launched a partnership with BiggerPockets and we have the ability to pull lists within the platform.

Goals for this deal:- secure precisely 3 units within 1 mile of Rillito Bike Path @ Dodge Blvd: easy to access all major Tucson road cycling routes- property layout functional for STR: adequate parking, separate backyard spaces, etc- walking distance to Brandi Fenton Dog Park & Tucson Hop Shop (best bar in Tucson)- pay house cleaner & landscaper to periodically clean primary residence out of AirBnB income (still working towards that!)

Partnership with BiggerPocket people?

Im big on partnerships if you cant tell but partner with them and you can accomplish more, buy larger deals or packages. 

I am currently in a position finishing up stabilizing my first building and looking for my next small commercial property with a partner in a specific part of MA, and actively learning about partnerships and putting teams and systems together!

The goal is to maximize the process and if you have to walk your team through a brand new spreadsheet every time, it’ll get chaotic.We at Compounding Capital have our own called Nucleus but a number of masterminds and groups have their own.To start, focus more on learning the intricacies of how the spreadsheet functions (seriously, just pick one) and how the various levers impact returns and you’ll be able to transition between spreadsheets easily enough in the future.#30My biggest tip for underwritersUnderstand incentives.

Anything anyone can add would be helpful as I have 16 residential properties and partnership in a shopping center but this side of the business is brand-new to me.
