Considerations I've found so far include: various layers of outdated insulation (mid-80's fiberglass stuff laid over old vermiculite), 1x2's nailed together to create 2x4's (but still relatively sound structure for the age), asbestos siding (needs a powerwashing and I've found it's totally OK, until it's time to rip it off or demoed), 1" galvanized metal water main is very old, electrical wiring that is visible is a hodge podge mess, there's an old gas pump on the site (not sure if tanks are still buried), real bad mold in bathroom, at least 3 layers to the foundation (that looks solid still), ugly old wallpaper, cigarette smoke smell, kitchen is a complete gut and remodel, nearly the whole home is.
