I found a single family property that I am interested in, however the HVAC is over 20 years old.   I was planning to live in it for 2 years and then turn it into a rental.  I've been through this before and would rath...

It's ancient (my 80-year old parents spent the first night of their honeymoon there!) 

But without such a safeguard in place the ancient rule applies, and the buyer should beware.It is ALWAYS the buyer's responsibility to perform due diligence on ANY & ALL perspective deals or transactions.

Do you think that during ancient times of virgin sacrifices that people were so polite you couldn’t imagine?

It's actually ANCIENT technology where an image, "shot over black" (no background) and projected on a nearly transparent screen appears to be floating in space in 3-d.

Ancient Chinese secret.

We immediately made improvements such as adding fencing to tenants' "yard" areas, and replacing the ancient washer and dryer in the laundry and doing some general clean up and maintenance.

I see houses sell with ancient fixtures.  

That said, wasn't there some ancient wise man that said something about the more mistakes you make the more wise you are?
