Our leases have a clause that states if an applicant supplies false or misleading information on their application it is grounds for termination of the lease.I would NEVER sign a document I don't get a copy of--in full.This tenant got over on you. 

AC units should have return air also, not just the supply ducts like many heat only systems. 

@Danitra Wynn You may want to check with your local mobile home supply store.

@Kadija Samura We are short on supply in Austin which opens up opportunities to re-purpose existing supply allowing fix and flip investors to enter the market.

If the property is an REO, just forget all of this, but if it is a regular seller, you craft a letter explaining that you are just getting into investing, but you have a family history in it and you know they are getting cash offers, but you can provide a higher offer (has to be substantially higher than the cash offers or there is no chance) because the 15-25k difference isn't much on your monthly payments.

It has been a seller's market for way too long and the supply has been very low even pre covid.

Covid had effect many things and parts and supplies are one of them.   

They couldn’t bring in labor fast enough so labor costs skyrocketed and supply took awhile to ramp up.

I understand that prices are dictate by supply and demand, but I'm scratching my head as to where the demand is coming from when there are millions that are currently unemployed, and homeowners are asking for forbearance on their mortgages because they lost their jobs or have reduce pay, etc... so where in the world is this demand coming from?

Currently there is one oil tank supplying fuel to two oil furnaces and I'm looking to convert it to two separate natural gas furnaces.There are already two separate gas meters running to the property, and each unit has a gas range and a gas water heater, so I believe the lines running to the property could handle two new high efficiency gas furnaces and tankless water heaters.Anyone have a good contractor in the Boston area who you'd recommend to do the work?
