What's considered "normal" repairs for SFR'S in KCMO?

[Kim Wagner]

Hi - I'm a new investor with my first home under contact.  It's a 100-year-old home located in the urban core (64130 - Blue Hills) of Kansas City.  I am purchasing it from out-of-state as a LTR.  After inspection this week, the report showed issues with water intrusion in multiple areas throughout the house - chimney, foundation, siding, yard due to poor slope, etc.,: "rolling" foundation walls; possible exposed asbestos in a small area that could cause it to be vented into the house through the HVAC and possible mold due to all the moisture.  There were many other issues as well, but these were the bigger ones.  My realtor says this is all pretty typical for Kansas City and that she wouldn't repair or have any of it explored further (a foundation person said he thought the foundation and structure of the home were okay and no repairs were needed).  In  your experience in KCMO, is it accurate that these types of issues are relatively common?  Any thoughts or advice? Thanks in advance.
