Hi everyone!

I am purchasing my first property and am excited while also nervous at the same time.  The home I am looking to purhchase is in Dallas, TX originally built in 1954.  The home has been fully restored and is being sold by a wholesale flip company.  A close family member brought to my attention that the risk of buying an old home like this is having plumbing, sewage, and electrical issues because during the home inspection you cannot see these things since the plumbing is underground and the electrical is behind the walls.. 

All the inspector will do is check the pressure for the plumbing pipes.  To give more context I am not great at handyman...  Could anyone give me advice on how I can do my due diligence in finding out when (if at all) was the plumbing and electrical work last done and how to be preventative of this?  Thank you in advance.  

Hi guys!  My name is Kiarash Derakhti.  I am new to the community and real estate investing game.  I have been listening to the podcasts and love them!  I am a sponge!  I am now the stage of confidence grown to self-invest and get hands on learning experience with specifically multi-family investing in the Dallas, TX market: walking properties, learning how to underwrite a deal, etc.  I found this group through an old co-worker but want to know if they are legit..  It is a $40,000 investment course to learn with hands on real life Real-Estate experience process with multi-family apartments:   Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is a heavy investment and I am serious.  Thank you!!!
