[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be astronomical if it needed a lot of work.  This house was expanded 5 years ago and the condition is fine.  [/quote]

A poorly done renovation exacerbates underlying problems by making them harder to fix. [/quote]

We spent the first two years in our old house fixing what the flippers screwed up. Once we were done, it was perfect. In 20 years, I've had no trouble with the structure itself. It was just shitty plumbing "upgrades" (plastic jacuzzi tub, ew) and cheap finishes in bathroom and kitchen. Ripped that crap out and now it's gorgeous.

[b]I wouldn't touch a modern build house, ever. They're build out of cardboard, low-grade plywood, and tyvek. Look for some home inspector accounts on social media-- horrifying what builders will try to put over on buyers.[/b] [/quote]
I agree with this. New houses are built from trash and they feel like trash.

But I’d also assume ~20 grand each year for a while in upkeep and updating if the house hasn’t been recently renovated.[/quote]

I agree with this! We’ve only lived in old homes that have been maintained lovingly (kind of …at least in good spirit?) so the work needed has been maintenance, and upgrades you’d have with any house after time - it just happens to be all the time instead of getting a 5-10 year grace period

This house is cute and in a great location for being urban but in the kind of suburbs. [/quote]
