I'm sure this question has been posted and answered a thousand times here, but a family member who routinely asks me to walk-through homes she is interested in buying (because, as a walking Typhoid Mary of Money Pits, I have hard-earned knowledge) has asked me to jump on a particularly desirable (location, location, location) multi-unit this AM.
One half of this duplex has knob-and-tube.
I have read conflicting estimates of the integrity and safety of knob-and-tube on this group and other web sites. But I'm scheduled to go through the home in two hours and thought I'd post and maybe get some fresh insights.
is an absolute steal (new roof, great landscaping, has it all). My family member needs a place to run to as the result of a divorce and won't be able to take on both the mortgage and a complete rewire at the time of sale; hence, my post.
Thank you as always for your responses.
