Some protective gear and some bleach with water and a good air purifier you'll be good.

Had to go outside for some fresh air during their pitch at our REIA a couple of years ago.

I'm currently active duty Air Force and recently returned from a deployment so I have a good starting fund for some investing.

My first one I got 1k exactly for the deal, I feel I was cheated in the end because of how much the buyer made in the end but that doesn't matter, I made money appear out of thin air.

You can't just talk about something in mid air.  

I just commissioned into the Air Force about a year ago and I plan on getting into REI in the next year, probably when I PCS around next March/April.

These units are relatively basic, they have individual room baseboard heat systems and wall mount air conditioners (1 each), so not nearly as expensive to replace as a normal HVAC system.  

In addition to what was already mentioned, in my area finished basements and central air adds brownie points around here.
