mst homeowner insurance companies refuse to provide new insurance for homes with fuses, knob and tube wiring, bad or old roofs, unsafe sidewalks and a long list of other issues.

Just call state farm and random other companies and ask about fuses....

you need to know 90% of buyers wantt a move in ready home , fixer upers limit the mrket to 10% of al;l buyers. You will have to sell cheap

In my neighborhood a lot of the homes are simply gutted when sold and
the new owner puts in rooms and apartments. A house a few doors down
has 6 rooms on the first floor - and it's an 18' by 50' house just
like mine. I doesn't make sense to renovate when that is a
possibility. They are, of course, illegal but nobody seems to do
anything about it.

Most of the rooms for rent go to students going to the local college.
