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?
