Need Advice on the inspection of a 4 plex

I have a four plex that I am in contract for but the inspection revealed galvanized steel piping from the 1930s when the place was built. The inspector did find one rust spot that looked like a possible previous leak but other that it looked ok from the outside.

Is galvanized steel piping a deal breaker for anyone? I know these pipes are probably near the end of their expected life and this would be my second multifamily so having to replumb the house would put a serious wrench in the business plan.

It also has a 25 year old roof which I intend to ask for the money to replace it.

projections below. 

Let me know what you think, how much risk is 90 year old galvanized steel piping?

down payment $ 43,850.00 25%
Fees $ 6,139.00 0.5%
Monthly Profit $478.69
