1937 quad. What to look for -- inspection.

[Jason Bradstreet]

Looking at a 1937 quadplex.   What should I be concerned with regarding electrical, plumbing, paint (lead), etc.?   Thanks much!

Oi, get an experienced inspector.  Lead paint is a given.  If electrical hasn't been updated, yeah...  Roof, exterior walls and windows, and foundation - these are the major points for any inspection.  '37 isn't really that old in the big picture, but for residential real estate in general, most inspectors haven't set foot on one of those properties.  Get someone with some expertise in "Florida historic home inspections" - google it or something like that.  A proper inspection can save you way more money (or keep you from losing it!) on the front end than their inspection fee.
