YES replace the furnace, 1800ish, ASSUMING is about 1k- 1500 sq ft house  Boy things are cheap where you are . roof is $450 to $600 a sq depending on pitch here in Maryland  I know I paid $550 a sq  ( 55 sq OUCH) when I lived in SC, total rip off, Material cost them about 100 bux a sq, 450 a sq profit for two days, Not a bad gig. 

My living expenses were almost completely rolled into the business model and I lived among an ever changing group of guests who made life lively and entertaining.

I have a unique situation that I cannot seem to find a very clear answer for, hopefully the BP community can assist.My wife and I got married last September and now live together in a house we purchased together.

This trend is expected to persist, driven by Birmingham's affordability and favorable living conditions.

Also, I live in FL and will not touch anything UNLESS I can get it at 25- 30% LOWER than the ask, even then IMO its overpriced.

Our low cost living, weather and current interest rates make for a very interesting investment in the area or in Florida in general. 

Good Morning,I have lived in, rented out, and help clients buy single family house hacks in St.

There are some exceptions as to when you can get away with a single stair (full explanation below) but you'll see it is not easy to do.I actually used to live in/rent a third story attic space with a single stair, and as a tenant I thought it was fine.
