This^^^I can't tell you how many times I would go to a Fixer Open House - the kind where everyone gets an hour to visit the property and then make an offer - I would be crawling under the house and taking apart the electrical panel while all these couple complained about the paint color and the old carpet....

$125,000 - $40,000 = $85,000 less realtor fees to sell it, and will a lender finance it in it's present condition.Also, those pier and beams go out of wack all the time and maybe just adjusting them will fix it.Some of the older homes are jacked up with all kinds of automobile junk yard scissor jacks and Auto Zone bottle jacks, piles of rocks, stacks of 2 x 4's on grade, wooden shingles, tar shingles, etc... vs proper peirs.So maybe one of the renters (or one of their friends) crawled under there and removed the jacks to use on their car repair or sell at the pawn shop for beer money and now the floor bounces.Meaning get a 2nd opinion from a pier company (that's legit, has an office and a website, etc...) and have them confirm the ROT--if any.Because the floors do rot (sometimes) and also the piers go out of wack and sometimes also sometimes disappear into thin air--and no one knows what happened to them.Getting a 2nd opinion on if there is rot--with cell phone pics of it--would be smart--if none then adjust/replace the jacks.Good Luck!

You will have to give the tenants the EPA required lead based paint paperwork anyway because its better that testing the whole house.I use mini-splits for HVAC in old houses--the ductwork will not fit through the crawl spaces and attics with all the room additions, so its much cheaper to put in the mini-splits and the tenants love having the individual room controls.For what you are proposing to do, you might as well just buy a vacant lot.

Do not expect to be able to put HVAC duct work in the house if it has a series of add ons--the attics and crawl spaces will have areas that are blocked.Asbestos and lead based paint will be throughout the house.
