Also, I take it these units are AC only, not heat-pumps, right?

I know that we can keep the assets full, we actually just started talking with a building owner in south beach (miami), you are correct- that is all he wanted to hear from us- that we would use our skills to keep his development full, expenses reduced, and that we would protect his investment..

I have not done anything with geothermal heating.

I would have to agree that carpet in an upper definitely helps with the noise and keeping the heat in during the winter.Is it possible to do refinish certain rooms and leave others carpet?

Both units have oil heat and hot water.

Hi BP!

I've yet to buy my first income property and I've just been educating myself but I'd like to move things along by networking with other REI folks. I've only found 1 REIA meeting which is in a month so ...

@Matthew Paul I'll see your "middle aged tenant" and raise you two college students who call in January to complain their {electric} heating bill was over $400.00 for the month.

I am most concerned about the issue of constant humidity as cannot control power outage or heating system failure.

Paying for heat and water makes this no deal for me.
