Think of it this way, if the New England Patriots spent every week doing motivational seminars, self-affirmation, positive thinking, how do you think Sundays game would go?

I find that stuff built pre 1900 or so is tougher to work on - stairs are too narrow or don't have the right tread/riser ratio, ceilings are short, floors are pitched, massive fireplaces (again, think New England here - cold winters), etc.Old in your market may only be 20 years though! 

I'm working on a property flip analysis on a c. 1767 New England house in New Hampshire and a few aspects of the house have me perplexed.Does a renovated antique house warranty a higher asking price or only add to the charm?

To quickly introduce myself, I moved to Miami in August after living in Central FL and before that overseas in England.

The downsides here are high prices and low availability of multifamily homes in my area (new england), the loss of mortgage payments going instead to renting in the meantime (around 15k/year) as well as whispers of government stepping into the multifamily space causing some concern.3) FHA on a Condo: This is a compromise between the two: Lower cost of entry (~100K or so depending on the conditions), HOA is akin to rent but I still get to put money into building equity.

I am certain that I want to live in New England.

Although fireplaces are scattered throughout the house, the listing description notes that the hearth in the master bedroom will be especially welcome “for those chilly New England winters” (the understatement of the year).

Rented out the entire property in 2019 after moving to England, then sold it in 2020.

As I continue to learn about the area/market I currently live in (New England), I am curious about other areas for long distance investing.

I've got a great opportunity to get up to about 50 houses which are all rented and making out well. Only problem is, I think the best way to go about it with the situation would require ~ $50k - $100k hard cash per ho...
