Well, you don't buy those. You buy the good ones.
And the bigger point was that just because the house still has a bond, that doesn't mean the parts that are going to wear out aren't well on their way to doing so.
What is the term of the bond? 20 years? 30 years?
How long do the HVAC, or the roof, or the kitchen appliances last?
How long is it before the cabinets and counters, and other decorative features become dated?
