Its like the difference between hiding behind a bush or curtain vs. a masonry wall.  

-Remove all old chimneys as they just put weight on the house (I work in masonry so I was going to do it anyway) Either way, don’t be afraid of an old house, it should just be a way to confirm you have a good inspector and practice your due diligence.

Avoid 2 story where the first story is masonry walls, the second story is frame and there is stucco all the way up. 

Just be careful while screwing them down since they don't give like the plastic washers.Also, I haven't tested the difference, but I use a plaster bonding agent (lots of different brands, just read labels to make sure it works for plaster) where I'll be applying new plaster to old.Oh, and it's best to get carbide/masonry blades/scrapers/bits etc. since plaster will eat through your common steel implements CRAZY fast.Good luck with your projects!

Commercial buildings use painted masonry all day long, all the time (think Walmart with its painted concrete blocks) without any trouble.

Someone told me just build homes out of masonry brick with concrete floors that slope slightly inward to a drain in the middle of each floor so you can hose it out between tenants. 

I am particularly needing help with referrals for a good concrete and masonry crew.
