I thought my buddy in Halifax was nuts for buying a 1970s bungalow with knob and tube wiring, but his reno budget came in under $40k and now it's worth triple.

Honestly, my cousin did something similar with a tiny post-war house full of aluminum wiring. Took him two years of weekend work, but he replaced all the wiring himself and kept the original charm. He sold it last year for way more than anyone thought he could get.

Keeping the original charm is what really pays off in the end.
