The new AC will add some to the resale value; I had added central air to a property and the tax assessor increased the assessed value of that property shortly thereafter due to that AC ...

If its air force its typically summer/fall, so if you buy a house after August you might be holding it until next spring (like I had to) which really really sucks.

I've had contractors tell me all sorts of hot air to include 1) I know someone who will buy this house2) Im a closet millionaire who can lend you money for your next deal (but im cleaning out your crawlspace cause I love this kinda work)List it on MLS, but if they are serious about bringing a friend down to see the house, entertain them.

I am a Air Force brat but never had the courage to do what you did.

They can typically use existing ductwork, just make sure that you have adequate air returns (often an issue remodeling older places).

I feel like it will be adequately cooled in the summer (even though the property is in Alabama) because the space is mostly underground and the cool air will naturally flow to the basement.

I started an LLC with an ex Air Force buddy and we currently have day jobs in the city while my father runs the day to day operations as he has 35 + years in the property management and construction trades.One of my goals is to generate enough cash flow to replace my income where I can do what I want to.My experience has mainly come from following my old man around my whole life taking in all of his knowledge of how things work.

I didn't even know if they owned a property, but who cares, shoot enougn arrows into the air and some will hit something.

Hi Jason,I retired from the Air Force last September and really wish I had taken a serious look at this when I was your age.

I retired from the Air Force after almost 30 years of service last September and have been taking some time to decide what it is I want to do next.
