You have a 3 bedroom semidetached rowhome and want to rip the existing radiator/boiler+oil tank out, put brand new duct every where including now finished basement with brand new 90k out gas furnace and caged in 2.5 ton condensor.

hardest part for me is getting those phone calls or texts which say "no heat" or "need new water tank" .

Some of them are sharks who will take advantage of noobs.

Just like old septic tanks/oil tanks have to come out of the ground.

I have worked some type of public service my entire career, and my experience is everyone from the shark capitalist to the church-going widow understands their immediate (maybe not long-term) self-interest better than anyone else.

Some sellers are sharks and will eat you alive.

Look at the "Shark Tank".

.) - Hard money lender (don't know much about them.. kind of reminds me of a loan shark)- Know somebody with a bunch of cash- Home equity line of credit- Maybe transfer funds from my 401k to a self directed IRAThanks in advance!

The house was converted to gas heat and the tank was never removed.

They were on shark tank and sold in Lowes.
