I am a FORMER engineer, recently retired.  

For additional context, here’s a snapshot of our financial situation:We’re paying the mortgage on our primary residence.We have one car with ongoing payments.I anticipate it could take up to three months to find a new job.I’ve already applied for unemployment benefits (in PA) and am waiting for approval.I’d greatly appreciate any advice or insights.

Quote from @Tim Horning: Hi Carl, I am going thru the exact same issue with my first rental; a large 3 unit house.

Most of my renters are nurses, engineers, and tax payer funded employees (Government workers). 

Second: writing off the full cost of a new car is badly overhyped.

Definitely get the structural engineer to look at the joists & support beams to see what's up with the uneven floors.

I have a 4 car detached garage at my property and I rent out all the bays for storage use.

I was there for about a year when my parents got into a terrible car accident.

MLS has it as a single family residence, 3 bedroom, 1.5 baths (actually has 2.5 baths), approx 1500+ sqft, 9k+ lot size, 2 car garage, back yard. 

Make sure utilities are available, and that you have tap fees included in your estimate, as well as engineering (site plan), architectural plan, and other bits you might need to consider for your market (landscaping and costs of sale, for example).
