i've done several flips of Victorian homes and a couple of multi families.

We done it in older (Second Empire/Queen Anne/Victorian) buildings around here that were built with closed soffits.  

your first picture is of a victorian couch.  

If you have lived in a 1960s suburb of California your entire life, don't buy a Victorian in Boston.Don't buy a high-risk property.

I called on a fsbo sign in front of a large Victorian home.

The place has two homes (4/2 victorian that needs paint, AC, and roof but has updated plumbing and electrical and a 2/1 that's currently a rental and has been updated) and pasture otherwise.  

That being said there are plenty of opportunities to pick up cheap rentals with good casflow, and a few good flip opportunities for the larger 4/5 bed Victorian style homes.

I am hoping to get started in the dennison and victorian village area because that's where I am most familiar with.

If you have lived in a 1960s suburb of California your entire life, don't buy a Victorian in Boston.Don't buy a high-risk property.

If you have 10 year old Victorian properties in snow/tornado zone the sky’s the limit.
