House next to a funeral home.

[Robert Arquilla]

Hello everyone.

So I’m going to look at a house tomorrow that was built in 1860. From the outside it looks really nice. It’s on a semi busy road with other century homes on both sides. I’m really interested in this house 1 because it’s about a mile from my house. And 2 it’s in a great school district.

However it’s right next to a funeral home. Do you think this would be a deal breaker for potential tenants? Does this affect the rent price?

Also I’m pretty aware of things to look for when walking through older homes (knob and tube wiring, lead pipes, lead paint, asbestos, foundation issues etc..) Anything else I should be asking/looking for?

Anyone have any insight to insuring older homes? I heard this could be harder then traditional homes.

Thanks!
