Peter The Not Quite Great from Edmonton, Canada writes: Good advice. In the process of finding our current home we looked at an older house that had great potential for renovations. We found the purchase price prohibitive and walked away. Later on we found out that the people who purchased that house found black mold all through it when they began renovating. They had to tear the entire house down and start all over.
In the end we found a 50 year old bungalow that is solidly built but hadn't had extensive renovations. We renovated the kitchen and half of the basement without finding any major problems.
