When screening tenants and they have a choice between an elderly couple looking to find a permanent place to live with no maintenance hassles or a young engineer looking for a pad to live in over the next 12 months until they can afford a house who do you think they are going to pick?

In the coming weeks, I will start off my engineering career for a top 4 Defense Contractor in Minneapolis, MN.

I have talked to others that says I can do zone with dampers no problem while I have talked to others and read online that doing this will be a maintenance nightmare and that I really am better off eating the cost and doing a split system.Has anyone else had a similar situation and re engineered hvac from split system to one larger system?  

BackgroundI'm a full time mechanical engineer in Michigan, and my wife works full time in business.
