The Ol Knob and Tube

[Daniel Walton]

So after multiple days of researching this topic I’ve seen very few investors agree on keeping knob and tube wiring. I understand the additional safety concerns it can possibly bring as well as possible inefficiencies in a property. However I have now had 2 local and licensed electricians walk my property under contract and tell me to leave the knob and tube alone, “Don’t even think about redoing it, there’s nothing wrong with it and it’s not worth the trouble”. The wires seem to be in tact, there’s no insulation dangers present, etc. I know this goes against not only all of the discussions I’ve seen in the forums but EVERY YouTube video and google search I’ve ran in the last 48 hours. But can anyone justify this or defend this position?

Thanks!
