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.

Also the range appears to be ancient. 

Any combination of the above 3.And since the first option was invented by the Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus 2,600 years ago when he optioned the right to rent olive presses from their owners, I can tell you right now, there ain't nothing new in real estate.

A house with a bad old design like that screams that other issues are likely like terrible wiring, an ancient electric panel, aluminum wires, asbestos, lead paint, bad plumbing, and a creepy Norman Bate-style basement.

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.

I would ABSOLUTELY suggest finding a reputable Greek company to partner with. 

And under this coat of latex paint, there was this hot pink...stuff.The Greeks call it powder paint.

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

Hi, Cheryl, I know this is an ancient post, but I just happened to run across it and it's still relevant and had no responses, so I figured it wouldn't hurt if I chimed in.I'm a landlord and I operate a lead dust sampling business in Philadelphia, Delaware and Montgomery counties in PA. 

Being new, this is still all kinda greek to me but I will give this info to my mentor and I am sure he can help me figure this out.Thanks again,Stuart
