Investing in old multifamily a good idea?

I'm lookimg for a multifamily rental property and could only find old houses that fit the numbers when it comes to cashflow. Now, when I say old, these are very old. Construction years between 1920 and 1955. Are they really worth it? Should I expect a lot of unseen maintenance expenditure on these? Should entirely drop this idea or is it worth pursuing these? New investor and can use some direction! Thank you.

Unless you are asking for a FT chore, I will not touch them with a 10 ft totem pole. Tenants expect inside to have new features and will take long time to fill unless you are looking for low income tenants.
