Modern houses seem to be in demand.

Often bungalows owned by OAPs are solid brick, well-built houses that need updating to modern tastes, new carpet, cabinets, etc. 

As long as they are painted over and encapsulated with modern paint, you should be fine.  

As a frequent user of the modern-day blockchain technologies, I'd love to see this implemented somehow into the buying and selling of real estate for a more encrypted and secure transaction.Good luck!

We have built modern homes, and I appreciate the clean lines, white, etc., however; you can add some character in the way of texture and add some warmth in other areas (the floor, a more rustic coffee table, etc.)  

Renters like modern features and amenities. 

"These properties also rent more quickly, as they usually have modern layouts and an adequate count of bedrooms and bathrooms."

However, in more modern times people began to realize that companies need to change over time: HP, IBM, Apple. 

Some factors that can affect rental rates include:Economic conditions: During economic downturns, demand for rental housing may decrease, which could lead to lower rental rates as landlords try to attract tenants.Market conditions: If there is a surplus of available rental units in a particular market, landlords may need to lower their rental rates to compete with other properties and attract tenants.Property location: Properties located in desirable areas or with desirable amenities may command higher rental rates, while properties in less desirable locations or with fewer amenities may have lower rental rates.Property condition: Well-maintained properties with modern features and finishes may be able to command higher rental rates compared to properties that are in poor condition or have outdated features.Competition from other housing options: If there are other housing options available in a particular market, such as single-family homes or apartments, this can affect the rental rates for housing units.Overall, rental rates for housing may fall for a variety of reasons, but it is difficult to predict with certainty when this may occur.

We’re also open to doing it with a condo, but ideally a 2-4 unit.I’ve seen buildings that need some work (mostly modernizing or repairs like a new A/C) that I have stayed away from because we are trying to limit the amount of cash we’re putting down.
