Is this worth persuing...?

A new construction near me (in Florida) has beenforeclosed on. I'm not sure of the exact building phase it is in... but foundation, structure, roof are all in place. See below...

I plan to go and investigate further tomorrow.

I was wondering if anybody could give me an idea of costs (ball park) in order to get it finished, in order to see if this is worth persuing.

By the way, I am aware this is a very vaguequestion and amongst other items... permits / architect drawings would need to be submitted.

It's about 2,200 sq ft and finishes would be mid grade. There's no driveway (2 car approx. 30 feet to road.

Thanks in advance!

I would make a visit to the building department and request the drawings on the project.  They won't give them to you but they will let you photograph them.  It will give you the architects name and all the details of what was permitted.  You can get the name of the builder from the Architect and speak with him as well as to pricing to finish the project.  Many things to consider but I'm sure the plans were submitted and inspections made to dry the house in already.  They can also tell you what needs to be done depending on the time it has been sitting empty.  good luck!
