^this is true. A realtor will be able to tell you what is and is not post tension. Most older buildings in the beltline do have post tension as it was a magical way to improve on the design/layout of buildings.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a post tension cable building if it has been maintained properly. I do not have the exact figures in front of me but assuming the complex is testing on the regular and replacing when need be, all is well. It is not cheap to test and replace which has many complexes push it to the side which eventually leads to 1 very large bill.
It can be a challenge to have your mortgage insured on certain post tension buildings if the insurer has red flagged it as a building of concern. Again, something your realtor or mortgage broker would be helping you with.
