My husband has been working on our ancient 4plex including what started as a small handful of repairs at one of the units where a tenant's been living for about 18 years (he's not leaving yet either).  

However, there are a number of legal aspects to consider before buying property in Egypt.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

Hello all,I am an aspiring investor with moderate experience in fix and flips coming from Egypt to Miami, Florida looking for advice.I've lived my entire life in Egypt, but I am a US citizen and am planning to start off fresh in the States on my real estate journey.

Unless Egypt is helping you, double your rehab time frame & budget.

Steve, most of my nasty sewer adventures here have to do with dessicated 100-year-old crap in the ancient cast-iron lines of the old houses of the area.

New roof with sheathing (old tin-style shingles with purlins), new water heater, new electric panel with a lot of wiring, new kitchen & bathroom, and yet I still have ancient windows and old plumbing (on the plus side, someone before me had the foundation redone).

I don't care if the program just got implemented or if it's ancient.

I’m really glad @Jim K. responded on ancient wherever.  

better solution with your ancient boiler, get rid of the whole thing and install a gas forced air system.
