Do you think that during ancient times of virgin sacrifices that people were so polite you couldn’t imagine?

I found a single family property that I am interested in, however the HVAC is over 20 years old.   I was planning to live in it for 2 years and then turn it into a rental.  I've been through this before and would rath...

Two - I was over 40, which isn’t necessarily old, but seems ancient compared to the many 20-somethings who dominate BiggerPockets. 

The only septic system I've replaced was ancient (the tank was made out of bricks) and that was pretty inexpensive considering...

I’m really glad @Jim K. responded on ancient wherever.  

But based on my ancient memory of the greater SD area, I cannot imagine that you are pulling any tech job related tenants or even military out of Miramar. 

Really this strategy is ancient.

I was able find a bank to give me a $30k business loan secured solely by my "business assets" which at the time consisted of a single office chair and an ancient computer...Might be another avenue worth exploring.

You'll still be there leveraging your asset in the wisest way possible long after this drama is ancient history.

@Roy N.Sometimes insulating ancient brick buildings is very impractical.
