Does home year built matter?
So I am new to the whole REI investing world and have come up on some properties that might have some potential. My plan is to start off as a wholesaler and build up some money to get into fix and flips.
But one question that I have is if the year that the house was built have a big affect on whether it is a good deal or not? Of course roofing and year of ac unit matters, but do investors really focus on the age of the house?
I guess I'm mainly concerned if fix and flip investors focus on this and would affect their interest in a property?
Thanks for the help!
