My background really comes more from construction and development in residential and retail construction.

Question: When buying an old building (constructed in 1900 with an effective build year of 1960), what should I look out for and ask about? 

I only hold decent properties in nice areas, modern construction, etc.

I have been in the construction industry, mostly residential renovating, so I know how to spot damages, repairs, and/or things that need to be replaced.

Hey guys,My family and I are starting a new construction business, with our first build underway in Cornelia, GA.

New construction, negotiated price.

Then the community can give you some more constructive comments you can take away and set some realistic goals for yourself. 

What caused the issues is that I went into a deal with a partner and he corrupted the deal, my first new construction build. 

Here's what I've learned:Inspections Are Non-Negotiable: Always get a full inspection, but don’t stop there.Plumbing & Sewer: Have the plumbing and sewer systems checked specifically, as these are common problem areas in older homes.Electrical System: If the inspector flags any electrical concerns, bring in an electrician during the inspection phase for a detailed evaluation.

I think stepping into development and new construction could be an exciting path to explore.What’s your take?
