Would you buy a home built in the 1800's?
I know some markets, particularly those in the NE, see homes built in the 1800's every day. Here in our corner of VA it's not so common. How about where you are? If a property that was 117+ years old came up in your area, would you buy it if the numbers made sense? Since it's just a hypothetical, things like age and condition of the systems (HVAC, electrical, etc.) is unknown. At what age does cash flow not matter to you?
