Hi Jason,Might be swamp coolers on the roof, and it looks like 1 unit is using a window A/C.Might be a good thing to have an A/C tech look at that entire system along with some costs, unless window A/C is a competitive feature in that neighborhood.Make sure there is enough amperage at the residence for running a modern HVAC if that's what you choose to do.Good Luck! 

I'd definitely recommend doing your research to make sure the one you choose addresses the key features you're looking to overcome - whether it's just rent collection, finding and managing tenants or helping you create reports, etc.

Which online service provide the features listed?  

Also that house was featured in "The Charlotte Agenda's "Hottest Homes Under 500k."

I'd like to see things like "has a Wordpress Plugin" or other features.

One ‘featured benefit' such companies promote is the ability to bring over/match the debt ratio such as a given mortgage on the relinquished property - not clearly understanding the full value of the debt in these situations. 

I am looking to add several smart home features to my properties to allow me to more effortless manage my small multi-families from afar.

Would the loan also factor in the cost of the roads and other features?
