[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family and I are looking at a (gorgeous!) historic home built at the turn of the 20th century. It’s very updated but my husband’s afraid it will be a money pit, and that we won’t be able to make necessary changes due to its designation as a historic home. For those who’ve BTDT, what say you?[/quote] Really depends on How handy you are to DIY with things How much you like the place. And most of all the condition and location of the home and whether it will greatly appreciate in value or just regular appreciate. Have family that lives in some older houses, several over 100 years old, and one over 200 years old. It's work to get them "into shape" but once you do, if the house has good bones, it's all easy peasy after that, same as any house, but better since older houses were built stronger and better on average. Talking real houses, not shotgun houses from the 1920s-1950s.[/quote]
