Experience/concerns with an older 1950 building

Jason Fernandez
Posted

Hello everyone,

Looking to buy my first (intential) investment property. Looking to see if anyone know of any/experienced concerns with an older building. It's an 1950s duplex (1 bed/1 bath) selling for 80k, but going to ask for 65 + closing.

Anything I should look for/bring up before it's too late...all I know is to ask when the last time the roof was replaced.

Thanks in advance!

@Jason Fernandez

Get an inspection done. That way you’ll know what’s going on with the property. Plus you’re covered legally if sellers don’t properly disclose any major defects.
