Repaired a very buckled foundation, poured a new slab floor, demo'ed entire first floor, new insulation, new drywall, new electrical and plumbing, flooring, trim, kitchen, bathroom, appliances, paint, new exterior door, new interior doors, new windows.

There were a few items that were identified.Live knob and tube wiring throughout (Google says ~$15K+ problem)Insurance concern (higher premium)Fire risk (Attic has fiberglass insulation over K&TExpensive to removeWarping of roof shingles due to lack of proper ventilation in attic (Google says ~$5-10K problem)Need to replace / repair roofNeed to address ventilation issue1 furnaces and 1 hot water heater are at the end of life (Google says under $5K problem)Known prior to inspection, so I'm comfortable with this.My intent is to work on getting quotes from professionals for addressing these issues and to go back to the seller in regards to the K&T and the roof.

These were found between insulation and ceiling drywall in attic. 

Asbestos insulation or asbestos used in a variety of products (this one is harder to know and is probably only going to be found by an inspector)5.

Rose, also get Mid America to perform an Energy Audit so your insulation, windows, and appliances earn you some cash back, too!!!

If the dwelling has been damaged and needs repairs that most of the buildings seem like they need.. sheetrock, flooring,insulation, wiring,  due from water damage,, which was contaminated water.. they need to also comply and give tenants notice to vacate or be fined if they don't comply.. 

The house is a 2 unit home and is large, other than the home needing some upgrades the deal breaker was that the siding is very old and the entire home has NO insulation.

Sound insulation will only go so far.

For the attic I am looking a at the sheathing underneath if there is insulation I am looking and feeling for damp or water stains.
