It has glass fuses and oil heat to give you an idea of what I’m working with.

I can tell you that the house next door which is 1930's vintage and is a big old farm house with 4 bedrooms and a couple bathrooms and had a oil boiler with radiators was just retrofitted with a gas furnace and vents run throughout the home so they can also add central air and they were quoted $24,000 by a local HVAC company. 

Which would add 400/mo - 4,000Current owner says he pays roughly 3,600/year for oil and electric (there is a 4th panel for the “house”)2017 town appraisal lists 260kAny of you quick thinkers out there have advice?

Completely renovated with refinished original hardwood floors, fresh interior and exterior paint, granite counter tops, and oil bronzed fixtures.

Garage:  oil spills? 

It’s got glass fuses, and oil heating to give you an idea.

@Sean AutryI've also seen a 120 lb German Shepherd mix do irreparable damage to 3/4 in. oak hardwood, too, but for my money, if you allow pets in your rentals, as we do, nothing beats semigloss oil-polyurethaned solid oak and ceramic tile for longevity, absolutely nothing by a long shot.I realize this is zero consolation for you at the moment, but I thought I'd contribute it here for others thinking about have pets in rentals.

At this point, the game plan is to use a TSP-based solution to wash the ceilings & walls as thoroughly as possible to remove the nicotine/tar buildup, two coats of oil-based Killz primer on the ceilings & walls and then paint. 

Definitely echo the sentiments that $0 money investing is much more myth and marketing snake oil than being plausible.Closest thing I know to quick easy funding is a 0 fee, 0% credit card balance transfer but not everyone can command 30K plus credit limits and I wouldnt recommend that path unless you are equipped to handle that debt once the promotional APR expires

With oil prices slated to remain low for a few years, we have a slow down looming in my industry.Currently I know very little about REI, but I am a quick study, and very excited to learn and meet new people.
