While I said $140,000 sounds like a lot of money for a rehab I didn't know the exterior was so bad and the house looks ancient.

It's got foundatuon issues, the roof is probably shot, the electrical was ran by Edison himself, and the Greeks did the plumbing.

That's ancient history.

It was one of those ancient in ground pools with a vinyl liner, cinder block walls and sandy bottom.  

The property itself is a very nice rehab so that’s why I thought I needed to include it all  So many Greeks popping up on this site...like a plague of us.

Now, I'm not saying we were racially profiled, but a Greek dual citizen married to a Russian nationalized citizen with plenty of Eastern European associates and friends...hell, if I was the Justice Department, I would want a closer look at us, too and good for them for doing their jobs.

If the house is so old that it has ancient pipes that have never been serviced, or massive trees all around the house that could have roots burrowing into them, etc, etc.

Listening to a cable installer scream like a banshee after running into an ancient cat carcass in the crawlspace.Watching my realtor run out of a house we were looking at, gagging from the overwhelming smell of dog pee.

amazon > search on vacation rental or Airbnb > make sure books have  and lots of good reviews and not too ancient. 

Also, is the property ancient and going to require frequent repairs?
