Much of the capex has at least 5 years usable life left except floors (9 years old) and one heating unit, which is @ year 16 of an expected 20 year life.

Closing on a house next week, somehow my realtor forget to tell me that the heat pump was missing...

The cold temperatures can result in really high heating bills, especially if the windows are old, furnace is old and little insulation.

Only, Flipper B added solar panels and geothermal heat pumps for energy savings.

When the local market started really heating up, the banks dumped as many as possible.

I've been tracking a couple other discussions on BP where there's some heated debate on whether capex is above or below the line so not trying to re-hash that here haha@Ned Carey Very true.

Hi All,I have a rental where the HVAC unit is really old. We believe it will kick in 1-2 years. The unit is on the roof with no access except by ladder. Internal parts of the HVAC are in the ceiling. So I am assuming ...

Who's going to handle that heat?!
