An investor can get their money into hot markets like southern California to the beaches of Miami and just about everything in between.

The Texas Property Code requires the dwelling to have a heat source and hot water heater and this cannot be waived by the tenant. 

The mechanicals were boiler fed baseboard heat and hot water, and no air conditioning. 

Account ClosedFrom what I understand your area is a pretty hot market.

Should be 30% for that kinda work unless the area is super hot in my opinion.

Not sure about those two cities, but some require hard-wired, interconnected smoke detectors - costs more to put in than regular battery operated...Also, generally to North Texas:  it gets damn hot down here, so HVAC systems take more of a beating. 

Very few homes had tile roofs that are the norm for middle of the road and up homes where I live.It can't be because of the heat because in the Central valley it gets hot here.

Just seeing the market getting hot again is making me want to hold on to some properties also.

Where is the hot water heater and where does that drain go?
