Older homes: affordable but with renovation costs
Older apartments or houses let you buy bigger for less, especially downtown. Expect to invest in energy refurbishments and upgrades. The lowest-rated properties are at risk of price drops and rental limits by 2025. Experienced investors, however, can unlock real upside through improvements.
Key points, no table
