Properties Built in the 1950s

[Harry Standafer]

Hi all,

I'm looking at a package of properties and most of them were built in the 1950's. They're throughout North Carolina in various small towns. I've never bought a property that age or in North Carolina. Is there anything I need to know about houses built in mid-20th century or in North Carolina that I'm not thinking of?

For the record I have two properties, one built 1910 and one built 1999 and they're both in Kentucky so that's where I'm drawing my experience from.

Thanks for any input.

I feel like I watched a home renovation show and they where in North Carolina. I distinctly remember it being an older home and was very badly damaged with termites. And they mentioned termites were VERY common in the Carolinas. Something to get an inspection about for sure.
