1 - It depends a lot on type of occupation (is it for a family? for a single person? House, Appt, Condo? Older buildings also might require more maintenance).

Also it's not only about work, but cost of maintenance.

That's right, but it's like buying stocks/funds. It's not the same investing in S&P500 Vanguard index fund than investing in an active index fund with high commissions and bad performance. You have to find the right house to invest in (eg. a relatively new flat will probably not give many problems).
