[quote=Anonymous]Pros - depending on the period and location, older homes can offer a certain architectural charm - more established neighborhoods - often bigger lots - often in more desirable locations Cons - restoration can be challenging as certain materials and practices don't exist anymore, so if you need a "period appropriate" solution it can be harder to find - certain decades, locations, styles are inherently problematic b/c of the building materials used so you need to do thorough due diligence during the inspection (as someone else mentioned, galvanized steel interior pipes and orangeburg sewer pipes are ticking time bombs) - as you renovate, you'll discover other "problems" that must be dealt with[/quote]
