My daughter has asked me to look at a house she's considering buying.
An older couple is selling and moving to a retirement home. asking around
$260,000
A couple of things I'm concerned about are the brick foundation with a
dirt floor in the basement.
Someone told her it would be around $5000 to pour cement.
Also two of the room have tin ceilings. anything I should check? I've
never even seen a tin ceiling.

I'll be seeing the house after work this week.

Thanks for any input.

Have a septic inspection, look carefully at the roof
and siding, check out the well and the chimney, and look
for rot around the sill. Everything else is cosmetic.
