Window units break down far more often, have a shorter life expectancy and in the end will probably cost you close to if not more than central AC.If I had to have AC due to area demand my choice would be central air.  

I budget for maybe $2000/year... again, that's a worst case scenario, but, particularly with these older homes, things will come up (not sure how much of everything you are replacing with the $25k, but, every single one of my properties has required some type of expense that I would consider non-trivial ever year: boiler breaks, central air conditioning breaks, roof leaks, bathroom and plumbing issues, electrical issues, etc.). 

Petersburg, or on the west coast / central Florida area. 

Hi All,I am in the Central Florida area.  

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site as of today. I graduated from THE Ohio State University and work full time as a Merchandise Planner for a corp retailer. Expecting first child this year so really want to build finance...

I'm personally in south central WI.

You've probably read it if you look at my posts, but it gives a good description of who I am and what I offer, so excuse the form letter factor.. haha I type it out so much I figured it was better to centralize the response.. hahaEvery week I get 1-3 calls from investors who have been taken advantage of here in Indianapolis.

I invest in central Connecticut where the market is fairly saturated with other investors and taxes are extremely high so we have some obstacles to overcome.

In the area I live and know well, Central Kootenay, we have a combined population of close to 70k, all close together.
