But let's pretend today's rules were in effect with the 1980s interest rates, and go through what we might do, and what a bank might do, and how it might play out.You find a homeowner who wants to sell their home, they have a late 1970s vintage mortgage at the low low rate of 9%, but if you took out an investment property mortgage today the best you could do is 17% or 19% on a 30YF.

The top floor was converted to an apartment years ago, but the main floor is vintage/original hardwood, crown molding, etc. 

In my opinion this can very easily lead to a very imbalanced portfolio and taking on risks that I'm not willing to take-on.1) First, I follow a vintage year strategy when it comes to alternative assets like real estate.

These are newly rehabilitated/flipped and some are 1970 vintage, but all asking prices essentially eliminate cash flow.  

Margins on lower cost homes, lower vintage homes, tougher areas, etc. have smaller margins.

I agree, this is as close to new construction as you can get in a 1980s vintage house.
