/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hi /diy/,

I'm thinking of buying my first home. I have a good budget and I'm being pretty conservative, so I think I'm okay there, but I don't know what mechanically and structurally to look for?

Here is my situation:
-Mostly looking at older homes due to my budget

Plan to check out a house I buy contingent on inspect, which would be:
-General inspection
-Hire an A/C company to review the A/C (have a good one)
-Hire an electrician to review the power (have a good one)
-Hire a plumbing company to specifically look at that
-I have a roofer friend who would check the roof for me

What other things should I look for?

Also any general advice on looking for a home? I found one that had a great layout but it was near a (sorta) busy road so I just took a pass on it. I'm a robot so just living alone and have no visitors so want to convert a second bedroom into a home theater with projector.
