Yes, even in the winter time.Since you already have air ducts in the house, I'd tend to agree with your gas furnace idea. 

I'm an agent/investor in the Winter Park area, so reach out anytime.I wish you all the best Chris!

I would look at going with darker color for the main color like a toupe, light/medium brown, forest green. 

I mam currently residing in Wake Forest and look for most deals in the Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Clayton and Cary locations.

There is a local meetup in Lake forest every month that you should check out. http://meetu.ps/2QWCkhIf you would like to meet up before then and talk about investing let me know.

The water and electric have been much higher than I guessed (Columbus in summer is HOT, not unlike Tuscaloosa), but until we average out with winter bills I don't know just yet.

Only thing that makes me a little nervous is we are moving into the winter months here and things tend to sit on the market a little longer.  

Most of these are being sold at lot value which means the only thing you can do with them is tear them down and build something new.I suggest you look in Oak Forest and Mangum Manor on the NW side of the Loop.
