I would worry about knob and tube wiring and old septics and wells.

I'm not sure just how much lead paint and asbestos in a house actually is a bad thing. If I just don't lick the walls or insulation, I probably won't start growing a third eye.
But yeah, that post & knob wiring would be something I'd have fixed before we would even move in. Most of the areas we're looking at have the houses on sewer and city water, so that shouldn't be an issue. But rotten and calcified water pipes would be.
