Can someone please help me look at these inspection reports?
Hi there,
I'm looking for help analyzing these inspection reports for a property I'm in contract on. There are two homes on one lot and the homes were originally built in the 1920's. It's my first property purchase and would be a house hack. The houses seem to be in ok condition, but the two things that stick out to me are the electrical on the main house and the foundation on the small house where the addition was made. We scoped the sewer and it looked good. No roots at all. Below are pictures from the inspection report. I'd be thrilled if someone with a lot of home construction experience would PM me so I can send them the full inspection reports.
Am I asking for trouble with this foundation? We just had a 5.7 earthquake after the inspection and I went back over to look at the foundation. It all looked the same (from my perspective). I compared to the before pictures, but really have no idea on this type of thing. I haven't had a contractor out to provide their opinion (but maybe I should?)
This is the main house where there is knob and tube wiring coming into the house. This worries me and would be something I would get fixed right away. Would like to talk with someone more in depth about how much this may cost to rewire.
Thank you,
Eric
