Don't buy anything before 1979 due to lead and asbestos. That doesn't mean everything has it, just beware of the possibility. Early 50's the issue was lead paint. Asbestos is primarily found in drywall and vinyl flooring
I was looking into the lead paint thing a while back. Apparently, it was only an issue because they said kids would eat paint chips. I've never seen a kid eating the paint chipping off of a wall, but it seems like any other toxic substance you have to keep an eye on as a parent.
One thing lead paint did really well, was block wireless signals. Sometimes I wonder if that was the real reason the banned lead paint.

Lead paint was above anything else for preserving exterior wood.
