@Dennis M. Thank you Dennis! I actually did get a quote for insurance and they said they do cover knob and tube.

@John Mocker okay thank you John!

@George W. I do have an electrician coming out this week to give me a quote. As long as it isn’t ridiculous, the deal should make sense. Good location and possible negotiation power due to the knob and tube and the fact that it’s been on the market for over 200 days.

@Pat L. How much was the highest you’ve charged someone for all of that work? Great yet then 20k?

@Frank Geiger awesome thank you! I have an electrician coming out this week to get me a quote.

@Kris H. Thank you kris. Hopefully it is not ok expensive to fix it!!

@Seth Ferguson thank you Seth! That does seem like the only option. I am hoping it’s not too expensive.

Hi all,

Looking at a house in the Albany, New York area and had a question. Has anyone ever dealt with knob and tube electrical?

I know prices vary from region to region but I would like a rough estimate for how much it would take to replace knob and tube in a 2700 sq ft duplex but in 1914.

Also I was wondering if it is required to update it?

It’s a pretty nice house and a reasonable area, but depending on the knob and tube, it could be a game changer.

Thanks everyone!

Hi @Brian Degener,

I am looking to invest in the Albany area. Have been looking for a little while now, if you have any multifamily units (2-4) for now, please let me know!

@Kyle Brody Hey Kyle, I live in Albany NY, went to school at SUNY Albany and played lacrosse there. I’d love to connect to hear about some of the places you’ve invested in.
