I have never experienced oil furnaces (or whatever they are called) either.  

Repairs needed.Basement 50 There is an old oil tank in the cellar that needs to be removed.

Don't invest in a "fad" market where one industry is driving growth and may only do so for a short-time (ie what happened in the Bakken with the oil industry).Third, find an AMAZING TEAM.

As a daytime software engineer with a large oil and gas company and also owner of a digital marketing firm, I would like to retire by 40 and just let my money and time work for me via investments in multi family properties.

They were working at the Jiffy Lube/oil change station.

I know a local investor who spent tens of thousands of dollars remediating a site he purchased unseen after he discovered the neighbor had been using it as a dump for his used engine oil.

Same way Mercedes wants $500 for an oil change and justifies it by looking over the car with a BS multi point inspection. 

Pull the pad completely out of the home and throw it away and then seal the floor with an oil based sealer, like Kilz. 

Home isn't in a bad area 3bd /1 bath, built in 1951 and has oil heat.
