This is one of the biggest mistakes I see whether residential or commercial.Buyers go cheap on the inspections and get pounded later on with wiped out cash flow.Any property I want to know the vintage of when it was built.

Under 1 percent is too thin in my opinion unless this is an amazing area.The unit mix will affect potential appreciation for resale demand and certain vintage years of construction will have way more issues and expenses.
