I'm under contract on an older-home. 

@Rich Bultema - Just from my experience I have not had an appraiser impact the value for an older heater/air conditioner, however, a heater without A/C (as an example) has impacted an appraisal on a single family home.

An older property with low interest rate and into cap-x can easily do much more poorly than a newer unit with double or even triple the interest rate but limited or no cap-x. 

I hear people having rental properties older than mine like 1900 still cash flowing and happy.

Hi everyone,I am trying to find out whether short term rental has seasonal weather risks, and thus posting this question.

A seasoned Real Estate Attorney would know the answers to all of those questions and more and there is no conflict of interest when it comes to advising you.

As Indy continues to grow the inventory for older builds is still high and the cost of entry and relatively low.

Also @Tim Phillips something to be aware of in FL, all condos older than 30 years and taller than 3 stories are required to have a "Structural Integrity Reserve Study" performed before the end of this year.

The most common benefits a landlord can get from an arbitrage agreement are: reduced vacancy expense, decreased maintenance costs (most arbitragers agree to fix any damage done by guests), increased rent (most pay a premium), reduced number of hours managing the property (aka it's more passive)Some less common benefits, but still worth mentioning: Using the property to host their own guests at a lower rate during the "vacation season", Revenue sharing, arbitrage managing landscaping, and other management tasks. 

I'm just short of the income qualification but would still have to wait two years for that to season.
