No, mostly safety-exposed electrical, trip hazards, properly functioning electrical/plumbing, etc. and wood rot, peeling paint(sometimes) functioning kitchen appliances (only if they are present-not required), etc.

Water and power were on did not see any plumbing issues, foundation, or roofing( in attic) issues.  

Of course, cash offer is king and allows you the most bargaining power.

If you choose not to bulldoze and start over, there is a likelihood of needing all new pipes and electrical. 

There would be additional hits to your bottom line as a result of that so be very aware of how it ties in to your investment calculations.Lastly, you always want to talk to an loan agent first so you can sit down and determine your buying power.

In my opinion, some may have to talk to several agents until they find someone genuinely to be simpatico.As for the contractors, I have a company that is short on man power but the owners have a ton of experience - they can't do it all on their own though.

Other concerns would include long-term liabilities such as single/dual metering for water, gas and power. 

I am fascinated with the power of networking and enjoy every moment of it.

I realized the power of putting my dollars to work so I decided to look for private money as I am willing to pay up to 7% on a $25k loan.
