Buy a well built property3.

Should a sewer line scope be done on all properties or those that were built before a certain year?

Quote from @Algerson Andre: Hello Everyone - I own property in Buffalo,NY that sits on a big lot that has the potential to serve as ground for a New construction duplex to be built.

Until you spend 20k on paint and some new kitchen appliances, but the roof and foundation are still shot and the 100k ARV is more like 70k in reality.

So, the solution to the problem is built into the system.  

Newly built homes start in the $270s in suburban communities, like Los Lunas and Belen, or low $300s in class A neighborhoods in Rio Rancho and NW Albuquerque.

If you have the money and a financial foundation to do that then that seems ideal.

I bought a 3/2/2 SFH1000 SF, move- in ready ( built in 2003) for $165k but they wanted $175K but I paid cash & closed quickly. 

Many of which were probably company built.
