Common LA Issues

[Nikolas K.]

Hi Guys! 

Newbie here and one of the recurring questions I have about LA real estate is: are there any common/typical issues that units have here in the LA area? (eg. structural due to seismic activity, piping due to local water, sewage due to design trends, paint due to the smog, roofing due to heat, electrical due to a/c etc.)

Motivation behind this question is for property-evaluating purposes. If for example a unit is on the market at a very competitive price then perhaps one of the first few things to check for are common 'big' problems that LA units may have.

Thanks!

Niko
