Looking for advice ....

[Gerald Kieffer Jr]

I'm considering the purchase of an old 30k+ square foot school building built in the mid-1940's. What contingencies should I place in my offer? Asbestos, lead paint, a sound structure & roof, .... anything else?

Also, once purchased, I plan on hiring a designer and then putting together a group of investors to help ensure a successful build out. Any advice of that aspect of the project would be greatly appreciated.
