It really is up to you.The outdoor shower sounds cool and might be a selling feature for prospective tenants.Me PERSONALLY I would go with the granite just because of the small sq ft space.

Chad,I will inbox you a list of questions regarding credit, experience and liquidity.

I would use the resources like yellowpages, google reviews, ask at a real estate investor meeting or maybe sign up for Angie's list and find the best HVAC company and installer who, stands behind the product, is willing to educate you on the right equipment and provide you a fair quote.Your investment strategy, and what the standard is in your area will dictate the price.I would look for the Highest seer, with a good warranty 10 compressor, 10 year parts, look for one with quiet technology (compressor sound blanket, motor mounts, Air handler blower motor, air flow designed for quietness) and ease of service for the air filter, air handler coil cleaning, overflow float switch, and access or instruction on drip pan tablets/liquid and drain line cleaning.What I look for in a HVAC installer is someone who is proficient and not on the phone or looking through the manual a lot.  

Cool thanks for the info guys.

the only thing I'm hearing nowadays is that they want more liquidity and more un-leveraged assets than they maybe did before.

Prices will likely continue to increase in 2021 with some cooling off due to affordability and future supply.

Try to find a local investor and see if you can help them with anything while you wait for the market to cool down.

You have a great rental market and a cooling seller's market.

That sounds like a really cool circumstance you found yourself in, maybe a dream deal of it turns out to workable.
