Thoughts on purchasing a Historical Home???

Brandon Cline
Posted

Hi guys, I've found a property that is intriguing to me, but it's listed as a Historical Home.  For those of you that own, have bought, or dealt with a historical home, do you have any advice?  It looks like it's been broken up into 4 units, two of them are finished, 2 of them are unfinished (still waiting to find out why).  I've heard that that there can be a lot of headaches dealing with the appropriate agencies who control what can and can not be done on historical buildings, but from those of you with first hand knowledge, how bad is it? 

Thanks for the time!

@Brandon Sturgill Thanks for the response.  Yeah, I'm not sure if it's registered or the listing agent is just really nostalgic about the building in her small town.  I've heard horror stories about historical buildings when trying to make changes..like you can only replace the glass and not the entire window itself if there's an issue.  I'll look into it more, but again, thanks for the response.
