Thank you @Bonnie Low, I heard about the too long lead time...

I think I will try to find the closest "off the shelf" windows at HD/Lowes and fit them in.

Thanks.

Very helpful tips, @Joseph Hammel.

Thank you

Thanks much, @Jamie Hoth, @Mark F.!

I will definitely look into Sash Springs and Menards

Thanks again for all the good info. Lots of food for tought...

Thank you, @Jerry Hill, @Karl B.

I will definitely try to standardize the windows, seems to make the most of sense for the long run.

BTW, is it something you can ask the seller for a credit towards that cost?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the info, @Gail K., @Bruce Woodruff !

Gail,
Any chance you remember the name of the company?

Bruce,
The house is a mix of bricks and wood (exterior).
The things is that the windows are not standard... e.g. in one of the rooms the window is 66in X 33in

Thanks again, much appreciated

Hey there,

Hope I can learn from all the experienced landlords here...

I just had my inspection completed, for an investment townhome I'm interested in Baltimore, MD.
The house is ~120 years old, and besides the expected wear and tear, it is in a good shape overall

However, most of the windows as "past their EOL" and also, when opened, they do not stay up.
The house inspector told me that this could be a liability issue, if something happens to a tenant/child, due to a window shuts down on them.

Two questions, if I may - 

1. 1. Does anyone know how much does it cost to replace these old house windows? I think their size is not "Standard"
2. 2. Should I really be concerned about this "liability" issue?

This is my first investment property, so I'm not sure what to do with this info...

Thanks a lot for any insight!
