Default knob and tube

A friend of mine bought a house in Baltimore County 5 or 10 years ago

says you can't get a mortgage if you don't pass inspectinon and you
can't pass inspection with k&t wiring.

What do you think happened?

Does not matter what your friends said, it matters what the present code
is and if it was properly inspected.

It is also possible the K&T was in place but disconnected. We had that
in one of our buildings at work and never had a problem.

Too many possible variables to say for sure.
