Up dating your plumbing and electrical are the two main concerns of a house that is 95 years old.
Then Furnace/AC and roof can be pretty costly also.
Kitchens $10,000-25,000
each bathroom $2500-$7500
Flooring $2-$4 per square foot.
Painting $1-$4 per square footage.
If you need to update the plumbing or electrical you can plan on at least $10,000/$20,000 .
Just to patch there demo could cost you $5000.
Your RE agent should know a couple contractors that can look at it and give you numbers. If your RE agent has any construction background that would be great. Inspectors only look at problems not knowing anything about rehab cost.
I did on that was built in 1900 in Pueblo Co, I bought it for $53,000 and did all the rehab. No electrical or plumbing, roof was great and Heat was great. Sold it in the spring. Made $100,000. But I did the work!
I re sanded the floors and stain and varnish.
Be careful!
