I'm very fresh to the whole real estate world in practice, I'm trying to gain some experience of any kind.

I know my inspection and contractor quotes will reveal a lot more, but does anyone have experience with rehabs on a 140 year old property?

I've always viewed vacant units, and those units were always freshly cleaned and painted and appliances clean or new with no lingering odors.

Then start fresh, too many unknowns and upgrades would be needed in my opinion.

I would appreciate anyone pointing me towards these type of deals.The memory of the housing crash is still very fresh in my mind, and I want to be more conservative with at least half of my capital. 

If it helps I got my start house hacking when I was fresh out of college.

Sewer scope revealed a problem (low spot that wouldn't drain, unknown reason without snaking it out).

And the best thing is that you'll start the new investment with a fresh depreciation schedule. 

Very fresh to investing but I am in the process of renting out my condo to house hack a property that I should not have bought.

Give the whole thing a fresh coat of paint, and replace the outlets and switches if they aren't white and clean.
