After the dot.com crash in the early 2000's, people ("the herd") lost faith in the stock market and started looking for a place to put their money.

I didn't get a second opinion on the mini-splits (I probably should have).The primary source of heat is actually radiant though, the previous owner replaced the boiler about 3 years ago, there was no way I could rip that shiny new boiler out lolThe updated panel has 100 amp service (from previous owner), and will be upgraded to 150 amp in the next couple of weeks.

Will they have an issue if the original buyer funds were held in a commodity (BTC, 100 oz of gold, herd of cows, whatever?)

I'm all about the efficiency and long-term operating costs :) I'm interested in your plans for envelope construction (SIPs, off-set framing, boring old 2x6 stick-built); heating system (in-floor radiant heat, forced/central air, electric, gas, etc); domestic hot-water (solar thermal, heat-pump, etc); electrical (any thoughts to photovoltaic?).

Has anyone herd of this type of setup from a PL.

You can always tell the older homes by the diamond pattern in the concrete blocks from 1910-1930.2.Gas forced air heat Gas is common here, but some houses have baseboard heat or a few have radiant.

I also have herd of going to the county website or court house and see who is buying all the houses with cash and in what area.

Duplex (2 on a lot) 3/1 House built in 1900 with large kitchen, finished basementBack unit built 1998, modern 1/1 open floor plan with radiant heat, heated 2 car shop/garageAsking price: $299kOffer of $225k max, owner carry with $15-18k down, 3-4 year carry amortized over 30, refi into conventional.Potential rents: $2300 mo (ballpark low market): 1400/900.

So, I decided to roll the dice a bit and gave them a cash offer for $63k and some change and I had the cash on hand to pay for it, this wasn't a herd money backed deal or anything goofy like that.

The process was like herding cats but was extremely rewarding.
