We had a 23 unit burn to the ground locally (cigarette butts thrown on mulch) so the Bldg Inspector required our 1960's era 6-plex to have a complete fire sprinkler system throughout per IRC2018.

The roof tile was all new but we couldn't justify the expense to tear out the 1870's era 4x12 slightly sagging ridge beam.

Watched an old neighbors 1940's era bungalow get picked up for $599k, razed to the brick walls & basement.

My parents redid an old 1880's era house throughout my entire childhood; it still wasn't finished when I moved out!

Nothing special really, except a 70's era custom, "folk art" kind of bar.

My rentals are all also 1920's era so my floors look surprisingly similar to yours.  

Older 50's era neighborhoods (brick ranch and split level style) are hot. 

@Frank SanchezDUDE you are sitting on a gold minethat is so coolit's all what they call rough cut and you cannot get that anymorepull up all the flooring and sell it and you should be free and clear on the property-that's what it is worthnot sure what you are doing with it but that type of flooring is dated 1865 or so, if it tongue and groove(honed by hand) it is worth more than gold- or it could be a 50's era slab plate is what it was referred to and it also is worth coin- it might even be a pallet floor which was popular during the depressionfinish it the best you can or if it is a tear out make sure you don't break up the tongueenjoy

.... mais, je doit vous dire que le météo au mois de Janvier à Saint John ou à Calgary sera an peu different que à Abidjan ;-)You are correct in your observations that your capital will go further in Saint John than in Calgary, but there are a few other things to consider:Calgary is a much larger city than Saint John - with both the good and the bad that brings with it;market appreciation and growth would be higher, though perhaps more volatile, in Calgary;the building stock in Saint John, particularly in Uptown, is much, much older than in Calgary (I have buildings that are older than Calgary itself).  

In our Mid-century modern, it was entirely furnished and decorated with 50-60's-era things.
