If positive for asbestos, all soft stuff is to be destroyed (clothing, towels, cloth furniture, etc.).

@Ashton R.What you're asking is an equivalent of selecting clothes for a baby that has not been conceived yet.

I started doing things like building a clothing business, being an adventure guide, photographer and most important working in my parents restaurant. 

That list does cover the heavy hitters, but just to sum it up here are some that I always look for (I also get a home inspection for each property before buying it and ask my inspector to check for these things).Stuff You Can't See (aka takes a test or a professional)AsbestosLead based paintLead in the soilBuried oil tanks (if the home use to have an oil furnace)Collapsed/Rooted sewer linesPoor septic tanks (I have heard of people buying homes and finding out that a 50 gal drum is the septic tank)Stuff You Can See (or easily find out on your own)Old wiring (knob/tube, cloth, aluminum)Cast iron plumbingBroken roof raftersDry rot, termites, wet rot, and just wood support issuesMoldFuses/Multiple electric panelsSloping floorsCracked foundationsSigns of water in crawl space/basementThose are the ones just of the top of my head which can quickly add thousands of dollars to a job.

Ask if they are ensuring good ventilation-leaving the bathroom fan on for 15 minutes after showers and baths, using the range hood when cooking, keeping the place tidy (no big piles of clothes or stuff sitting in the corner).

I had a landlord in college that did this and we figured out a way to steal the money and activate the machine cycles with a strategically placed hole in the back and a clothes hanger. 

Termites do not eat just wood, they eat books, cloth, and yes, concrete as well as a mean for a path to get to the rotten woods or desirable termite diet.  

So, I usually have dog hair on my clothes, but I can't refuse a hug from a k-9.

My wife never asked for a Luxury Car or designer clothes,,she was 100% on board with our life style,,Both of us together have made solid life together and like your wife, my wife was a stay at home mom for 10 years before she started working.  

During heavy rainfall you can't wash clothes or run dishwasher.3.
