100 Year Old 5-plex with Gas Boiler Heat? Hive mind help!
7 May 2016 | 2 replies
The original electrical would have been installed to run a few incandescent bulbs, a radio or two and perhaps an early appliance and was not designed to handle today's electronic demands.Another thing to keep in-mind, depending on when the property was converted to apartments, is that the conversion may not - quite likely will not - meet current fire codes, which will both impact your insurance rates and your renovation costs when you do undertake a substantial rehab.That gorgeous exterior, with it's clapboard/shakes (or era brickwork) and elaborate trim will be high maintenance - that does not mean it's not "worth it", just that you need to budget accordingly.Personally, I enjoy performing deep energy retrofits on these old buildings (which can be very solidly built), but it can be an involved and costly experience, hence we are always looking for the unloved and run-down which can be purchased cheaply.If that house has been 200+ days on market - and no other landlord or investor has touched it - tells me there is a problem with the value proposition of the deal.
