But mid-century buildings are a nice compromise between strength & "character" (which I really think helps sell leases).Older buildings have a higher possibility of deferred maintenance, of course, but it's really the maintenance or lack thereof, not so much the age, that makes the difference.

Carpet is so last century and tenants know it.

All of my properties are turn-of-the-century (20th) in construction.

Google "century precast"That will be the easiest/cheapest if your current steps are beyond repair.Put it on a good solid base.

I would like to give some specifics and maybe you can give me some advice on whether this sounds like a go or not.The home is a 3 BR 1 BATH and it is very outdated on the inside. needs some work to bring it into the 21st century. it has no central A/C. and has an add-on to the home in the back that is very amateurish.

@William Halliday My brother is a Loan officer at century mortgage company. here's a linkhttp://www.cmcloans.com/DANIEL-SHULTS.htmlI think he's certified in Alabama and Kentucky.

I am considering the purchase of a property in Century Village, a 55 and over community.

Being in Northeastern Ohio and posting on bigger pockets, i wonder if you are buying a older (pre 1950) century home that is in some level of disrepair.

I sent a YL to a house built around the turn of the last century that was the orginal farmhouse that is now surrounded by duplexes, one of which has been townhoused.

The few brokers that he called (Century 21, ReMax, etc) have minimum requirements for number of deals per year they prefer that the realtor needs to do and also have higher fees for joining them.
