It’s a 1920 Victorian which was converted to an up down duplex.

She's been doing some tasteful upgrades to her 1880's Victorian home.

@Ben LengerAs someone who has a few "older" (Second Empire, Victorian, Edwardian) properties, I assure you there are more than the "little things" hiding behind those walls.The good news is the original house is too old for asbestos to be a big concern ... unless there were renovations in the 1920s - 1940s.  

I have a triplex that is carved out of a single family Victorian.

I just purchased a victorian in Joliet for $20,100 and that is not a typo.

It's a 10 room Victorian with original tin ceilings ...

And that leave a lot of leeway.You can take an old historic district and have a 2000sqf 3/2 Victorian with fireplaces, 11' ceilings, crownmolding throughout and 15'x15' bedrooms.

Expense reduction is a great way to increase cashflow and create equity.Specialized or Niche Housing can be a huge boost to income.A buddy using Student Housing gets 5K a month from a 4 unit renting per bed after expenses.Another using Vacation rentals has an old Victorian with a bunch of beds rents out each bed $200 a night to tourists.Good luckPaul

Nearest ARV comp sold Sept was a 2 BR 1BA 1846 Victorian which sold in 30 days for $185K. 

I saw a big Victorian home, that is obviously abandoned, while driving the other day.
