I'll add my personal experience. Over the years I've purchased 7 homes built
between 1880 and 1920. All had active K&T to some extent along with
newer wiring. Not only was it no impediment to obtaining insurance, but
in not a single instance was I even asked about the type of wiring.
Insurance company representatives did come at look at the houses, but in
some cases, only the exteriors.

ultimately i doesnt matter what anyone posts here..........

like my first post said call your local agents and ask i have a home
with K&T can you sell me homeowners insurance......??

the big issues are home inspector hassles, and insurance hassles.

incidently some K&T was found on a holmes on homes show. the inspect
rebuild house show.

mike holmes said unsafe and it was all ripped out.

even if mike was wrong and the K&T perfectly safe and effective people
looking to buy a home will likely pass on any home for sale with
K&T.....

since 90% of homebuyers demand a move in ready house with no repairs
needed, just having K&T has reduced your shoppers by 90%

note many here like me would be happy to buy a fixer upperbut we are a
small select group that doesnt reflect most home buyers nationwide..
