If a home owner wants to sell and they have unfinished renovations, and are taking the only source of heating with them, is this easier for a "flipper" to come in and handle, and how does that generally effect pricing and offers?

I think my houses are nice, but very basic (refinished hardwood floors, central heat & air, white appliances, sometimes but not always new fixtures, laminate counters), and my rents edge just above average.

You will find motor & a couple of coils.

You don't have $5k or $6k to cover repairs today; what will you do if the roof needs replacement, or the heating system needs replacement?

I am in the process of remodelling a 8 unit residential building and I was wondering what would be a good company to buy used Heat Pumps, Furnaces, etcc..

Unit 1: Rents for $825 and than INCLUDES heat and electricity Unit 2: Rents for $550 and INCLUDES heat and electricity Unit 3: Rents for $700 and that only includes heat (electric is on separate meter) So total income is $24,900 - 8% Vacancy = $22,908 annual income.

In general, interest rate tends to move up as real estate prices and the economy are heating up and drops when real estate and the economy are getting soft.

underestimating costs and paying to heat vacant homes in the winter....

Whether you are trying to keep the heat in (most of the year up here) or out (most of the year in Florida), the better the thermal break of the envelope, the lower your energy costs.
