Furnace Eyesore in Rental

If it has ancient leaky windows, though, you might need to upgrade those - although if I was the tenant, I'd want to see that regardless.Alternatively, if you do want to move it and the crawlspace isn't suitable, there are furnace / AC units that can go in an attic.

There will always be good deals - the skill is in not only having the confidence to know and to trust that, but also to recognise the deal that is good for you and then to be able to go after it not have someone else's great deal go after you.I hope that helps, sorry to quote Epictetus at you I got a bit carried away but those Greeks knew a thing or two :)

It's always the old Italian landlords pulling this sort of thing, like it's in their DNA.We Greeks have never engaged in shoddy building or repair practices, never, ever, ever, down from the classical age to modernity!

How to get my wife interested in RE?

I think seeing residential real estate, especially handyman fixer-upper properties, as an investment is very different when you come from certain immigrant cultures that have histories of doing this: as my wife is Russian and I am Greek with a significant personal and family history in this work, it wasn't so difficult.But in general, when I am convinced that something is worthwhile and I think my wife should look at it, I give her a manageable amount of material and ask her to look at it.
