Just made my fist deal

[Nicholas Salvia]

hey all super ecited just bought my first 2 family in Roslle park.  Right down the street from the train station great location.  Only worry is that its settup for 2 zone heating BUT there is only 1 furnace.  Any ideas of prices to get a second one installed?  also should i even worry about it?

 I know you're saying 'furnace' but sometimes people throw that word around for any heating system. If this happens to be a hot water baseboard system with a shared boiler, you can sub-meter the two separate zones (splice meters into the water lines right as they come out of the pumps) and split the fuel bill accordingly. This assumes the two different zones are set up correctly (with one zone for each unit.) 

If it's a forced air system you're out of luck - just roll the cost into the rent and pay the entire bill. 

Good luck!
