Blogs/Articles on Home 'Issues' or Lifespan by Decade?

[Greg P.]

Hey there,

I haven't found this anywhere -- and maybe this is answered in J. Scott's book (which I am planning on buying).  I am looking for general information on home builds by decade and possible issues that may arise from buying homes built in the 1950s, 1960s, 70s, etc.

Also, does anyone have a helpful link that talks about the lifespan on various parts of a home as a 'rule of thumb' such as HVAC, roof, sewer, etc? Trying to ensure I am taking everything into account when I look at older homes for CapEx.

Thanks!
