Age of Multi-family buildings in Chicago
Many of the multifamily properties listed in Chicago (in the $400k-$600k price range) are built between 1890-1920.
I noticed many of these foundations have settled, cracks in plaster, dips in the flooring, etc.
If these homes are 100+ years should I be concerned with these issues and the foundation? I know some investors are considering them just tear downs at this point.
Should I increase my budget to $750k+ and try to find newer built homes or is it worth it to invest in these 100+ year old homes?
Bit of a generic question, but wanted to throw this out there for anyone seeing the same thing or who would have some insight.
Thank you!
