The numbers made great sense to continue with this rental purchase.I recently discovered an interesting duplex rental in West Palm Beach, FL, not all too far from where I live.

We have had an STR duplex since 1999 in Mission Beach. 

Beach?

. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.

Hi All,I recently purchased a quadplex in Long Beach, CA and to start off, the other side in the transaction has been less than cooperative which is why I am seeking advice.

HOWEVER, we have a great lake view, private beach, private launch ramp, a safe, gated community and it's out on "the island", where vacationers want to be.

@Franklin Tirrell Panama City Beach has been in the top 3 in the country for several years and last year was #1 according to VRBO.

Investment Info:Single-family residence other investment in Long Beach.

I live in Virginia Beach where vacation rentals do very well. 

It's a luxury development two blocks from the beach that we will either sell as condos or keep as apartments.After seeing the recent rise in rents we're now seriously thinking of keeping it instead of selling.
