@Ben LengerAs someone who has a few "older" (Second Empire, Victorian, Edwardian) properties, I assure you there are more than the "little things" hiding behind those walls.The good news is the original house is too old for asbestos to be a big concern ... unless there were renovations in the 1920s - 1940s.  

Hi @Ben Braddock,Thanks for bringing this up!

@Ben Allison My husband looked into property home inspection and I know he discussed with many mentors and colleagues.

@Ben LeybovichI am also curious how everyone feels about actually buying the property but re-selling the same way you would as if you assigned a contract.

@Ben Meisel I love it, it next on the list 

That said, I share Ben's approach - I like to sit across the table from the Vendor and the fewer other folks {agents} interjecting themselves into the dialogue {looking out for their interests} the smoother it usually goes.

Welcome Ben to BP!

My husband, Ben & I are long time investors living in Arizona.
