The first thing if you want to have these partners would be to make sure all your interests are aligned.

Either they own properties and if they don't, they absolutely must be aligned with an property manager. 

I used RS Means 2015 price guide (inflation adjusted to 2018 numbers) for remove and replace costs and then divided them into the expected life cycle of household components using a 2007 NAHB study.All in all, I wanted to see what you guys think.

I'm eager to learn more about your goals and if there's alignment, look forward to working with you. 

You can get into trouble speculating upon the remaining useful life of a component.

Just looking to align some of the "township" costs based upon what other New Jersey residents/landlords may be paying.Thanks in advance!

What are the key components you study/look for (rent prices, trends, etc.)?

I'd recommend spending time figuring out what you want in life and then aligning your decisions with it. 

That can happen.The most important thing to do is align yourself with a local rockstar loan officer, check their personal reviews and company reviews, and check their NMLS to make sure they weren't working at jiffy lube 6 months ago.

Because of this the contractor will be forced to replace both the indoor and outdoor components as well as the copper refrigerant lines connecting them.
