There's this weed that grows wild in Greece that the Greeks make a tea of that we drink as a cure-all.

It's always the old Italian landlords pulling this sort of thing, like it's in their DNA.We Greeks have never engaged in shoddy building or repair practices, never, ever, ever, down from the classical age to modernity!

Dustin at Ancient City Real Estate was great and easy to work with.

There are a few Greeks and Greek-Americans here.

Imagine the glut of used equipment that will be available that will not be ancient, and the amount of applicants for new jobs at the new restaurants.Experienced operator looking to team up with silent partner type ads, EZ Terms Dark commercial units, etc...Italian, Mexican, American, Chinese, Hot Dogs, etc...Every cloud has a silver lining.And for those that can place Experienced Operators with Silent Partners, a cut of the action, and maybe free meals for a year (it's not what you know, it's who you know) ...Every cloud has a silver lining.Look beyond the darkness to the coming dawn and figure out how to enjoy the sunlight! 

The windows are all ancient and need to be replaced.

Sold for $8,000 over ask.After some inspection contingencies, like an ancient underground heating oil tank remediation...

I think seeing residential real estate, especially handyman fixer-upper properties, as an investment is very different when you come from certain immigrant cultures that have histories of doing this: as my wife is Russian and I am Greek with a significant personal and family history in this work, it wasn't so difficult.But in general, when I am convinced that something is worthwhile and I think my wife should look at it, I give her a manageable amount of material and ask her to look at it.

I think six or seven more years and my wife and I are gone, Matt, watching Greek sunsets.

A lot less maintenance when you aren't dealing with knob/tube and ancient plumbing.
