Built in 1930 on a post and beam foundation that has since settled and it is a LITTLE slanted.

I can look a photos to see that the kitchen cabinets need to be replaced, or the floor needs to be refinished, or I need to purchase a refrigerator, but trying to figure out if there's a pipe leaking inside a wall or the furnace is 40 years old or the beams are sagging in the basement is something you need to see in person, so how do you not waste your time when you're at the point where you're ready to buy seeing countless properties that need more work than it makes sense to do from a numbers standpoint?  

Also those wood beams are AWESOME.

Gotta have laser focus and plow through and nothing can hold you down.

The house has vents in the floors and I pulled them all out to see the layers of flooring, and you can go into the basement and look up at what I believe is our subfloor and the wood joists (beams?)

@Rebecca Beam Was this a conventional loan, or a private money loan? 

We replaced 100% of it- main beam and the joists.

There is a sequence to the rehab:  demo roof & 2nd story, jack up floors and replace support beams in the basement, re-frame 2nd story, floor deck & roof, then inside finishing. 

Not pier and beam or traditional slab.
