Recent visits to Egypt, Antigua, Austria and the Canary Islands, skiing in the Alps, and livin' the life in Portugal. 

Makes no sense to look at ancient days when trying to analyze a modern-day housing crisis. 

The owners usually slam crappy tenants in and then claim the property is stable after 1 year etc. with minimal repairs and the expensive stuff to replace is ancient.

@Roy N.Sometimes insulating ancient brick buildings is very impractical.

And with the exception of the ancient but functional furnace in the main house, I don't see much reason to put off repairs- so I wouldn't lose much to go ahead and do a full rehab all at once, and have a better property from the word go. 

I guess it doesn’t help that I live in a very remote area with ancient, crappy homes.

As a young man trying to survive in America, the Army took me all across America, Haiti, Egypt, Kuwait, etc... these days I travel for leisure in and out of country.

Here is the problem with having a park full of these ancient homes even if they are privately owned.

Same goes for a lot of international buyers buying all cash from all over- Egypt , Israel, Canada, Singapore etc. indeed chasing yield.
