Buying a house a a rehab - now it's looking more like a Teardown

[Rahma Z.]

I am UC on a NC in home built in 1948 - closing in a few days. At first walk through when the house was furnished, it looked like an extensive rehab project.  Now with the sellers items out of the house, it's looking more like a complete Teardown and I am seriously questioning the deal at this point. Would appreciate some helpful advice on what you look for when determining whether to tear down and start over , or to bite the bullet and rehab best as possible. Thanks in advance
