The main issue with older slabs is the HVAC was put in the floor. Over time, it rusts out and sand, ground water, mice can get in them. Then they need to be filled in with concrete and a reverse floor HVAC through the ceilings is installed. But they make great rentals because you don't have to worry about flooding basements.
