What Nik said is correct. Only thing I would as is looking into the sewer and plumbing system. I am assuming that this is an older property, many of the are in that area, to make sure there there are no hidden problems that may occur. Also with older properties like these it would be a good idea to keep a higher amount of cash reserves so that you can make the repairs as they come up. 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
