It seems that all posters above are focusing on building code which is irrelevant decades later.Municipalities enforce the maintenance code in the present for preexistent structures.

This form allows them to note any pre-existing damages and accept the unit as-is.

If you buy pre-existing, you'll still be looking at 400k or above.  

I would think you have to have a very specific audience to go for this type of investment and pre-existing trust is at the top of the list. 

And more like 270 to 300 for pre-existing.

But I do have an issue with asking some of these pre-existing cabin owners to have to retrofit their cabin with the system and expecting them to have it done in a year or something.

You'll likely pay high premiums, face lots of claim denials due to "pre-existing conditions", and deal with service delays.

I am open to the idea of building a duplex or purchasing a preexisting home.

Acquiring pre-existing rental portfolios?
