Is it possible that any 1920s era homes that have been "modernized" don't have an electrical system with a lifespan of nearly 100yrs?

Simply put, I design and implement technical solutions for oil and gas organizations.Currently, I am employed by a major oil and gas company for about 15 years, however, not so certain about the longevity of my career in this field due to incredibly low oil prices.

The solution advocated by many BP posters would have us simply increase our management fee percentage to cover the cost of managing maintenance.

Just keep an eye out for anyone trying to sell you an "easy" solution.

If anyone else has experienced a similar situation (trapped equity in high value residential property) please share your creative solutions.

Determined toward building relationships with the people around me and working toward certain solutions for a issue.

I found another house not to far away for 260k with a little more modern upgrades but not a lot.

I am tired so maybe I am just over looking the simple solution....

Again, I guess I'm not looking for someone to give me a solution to this as I don't see there being one until I can find a career back home and grow a portfolio in time.
