How old is too old for a House?

[Luis Ramirez]

Hello everyone,

I recently started looking for houses to do House hacking, and I came over this 1956 house that looks like its been recently renovated and it fits my budget. I was wondering on what is your opinion on buying houses that are relatively old for this strategy? I was convinced about buying it until I saw the year and I am not sure on what to do

 Honestly, I enjoy the older homes. I love when I find a brick property that was built in the 1900s. I feel they built them well back then. Sure, I have had to update the electric, plumbing, and central air but overall they have been solid rocks. If you said it was recently renovated too then that would not be bad.
