So having modern electric/plumbing helps a lot.

I also vote no-go.If everything goes perfectly, this deal on paper works, but we live in a world with vacancy, improvements, modernization, property management, and surprise issues (roof needing repair, needing a plumber, fixing the garage door,..)If your goal is to buy an investment, I can help you find better deals in the Twin Cities.if your goal is to buy something close to where you personally live at this point in time, you already have the answer.Again, I vote no-go.

Look for markets that have growing popluations, jobs, incomes and diverse, modern economies.

Indianapolis is a great market not just because it cash flows well but it has strong economic/demographic trends such as a growing population, growing jobs, a modern economy with a diverse employment base.

In the current market, I would focus on Tacoma which has some really awesome neighborhoods with great old houses (I don't care for modern ~post 1940's construction) at 1/2 the price of similar homes in Seattle.

Using modern windows in a house that old never works out well.

Elevations not seen from the street can go either way without spoiling the style.Keep the pocket doors into the kitchen - - just so charming - - and keeping them closed as much as possible allows a full modernization of the kitchen.Vicys have notoriously small rooms, so combining rooms or creating entirely new floor plans is fine, but pay attention to the style details.

I'm looking for an opinion on what to do and also feedback on my design thoughts.My design thoughts:- Granite counters- Get rid of upper cabinets in the foreground completely- Shorten the length of lower cabinets in the foreground, leave some of the granite counter "overhanging" for a little breakfast eating area (think tall stools)- Get rid of 1970s double oven (next to white fridge) and replace with modern SS oven/glass range with SS overhead microwave and upper cabinet above microwave- Ditch white fridge for modern SS fridge, have upper cabinets above fridgeMy question is, do you think it's weird to have the fridge right net to the oven?
