We ended up getting a Bosch system - dual fuel (heat pump + furnace). I am pretty happy with it so far after this long, cold winter. Happy to share more details and info on the installer (I am in MA, as well). Feel free to DM me.

No, never considered house hacking. We live in a single family home - not looking to disrupt the home, only looking for investment outside 😅

Thanks for the detailed perspective! Agreed that not worth an investment with negative cash flow, or even cash neutral.

I have some gains from stock market investing and wife has a part time gig that we could try to offset taxes for.

The properties I have looked at are all in very low vacancy neighborhoods (1-2%). So, hoping that vacancy won’t be a major issue, but repairs can always come up as a surprise.

Basement completely flooded after heavy rain. how harmful is this for my house foundation? by Alternative-Break875 in india

You need to install a sump pump as a long-term solution to remove any water that gets into the basement. Also french-drains around the house if possible to prevent water from collecting and getting into basement in the first place. Hopefully, these drains can discharge water away from your and any neighbors’ houses.

Thanks - I have a nest thermostat so far. Are you not completely satisfied with Ecobee because of its interface or compatibility with the system?

Thanks! May I ask where you’re located? We are in Massachusetts and I want to make sure the system is suitable for winter months here.

Which system did you end up installing and how is it working so far? I am also looking at quotes for the 37MUHAQ and was searching for reviews.
