Buying an abandoned property

[Colin Spivey]

I am not looking to flip this house, but I feel that BRRRR'ing a property is pretty similar. I have an abandoned property that has been abandoned and vacant for at least 5 years. It has central heat and air, has a metal roof, an unfinished basement that gives the opportunity to add lots of value to the home or even convert it into a duplex, etc. but it has been obviously squatted in, the carpet is ruined, there are no appliances, bath tubs/showers, toilets, etc. in the house, will need some drywall work, and one room will have to be treated for mold. It is owned by a property management company and I have thought of contacting them to see if they are willing to sell since it is only sitting there and has been for a while, but I need to find a ballpark figure of my rehab costs (as of right now I am thing $60,000). How would I go about a more internal inspection of the water and electricity is turned off? What other things do I need to pay close attention to in an abandoned house? Has anyone been through a rehab of a property similar to this one? Thank you in advance for your response
