This area isn’t cheap so don’t want to risk a place sitting for months.  

 a few months no.. if you dont plan to use it ever.. as for basic education in regards to vocabulatory etc. the pre license courses are cheap and you will learn things.

Cheap money, multiple offers. 

I've done the cheap ones from window world.

I took extensive video and pictures when i moved as the house was not, to most people in move in condition, obviously cleaned but very cheap and very old carpet, large areas of rooms that weren't entirely painted weird hardware sticking out of walls, screw holes or remaining screws and nails, several patched but not painted areas, tons of areas with drawing, water, oil marks on the walls (from a centimeter to 1 foot) etc etc! 

Maybe needs a bit of refurb but that is pretty cheap.

Cheap, and ready to move in a lot sooner.

. $34k could be cheap depending on assets, values and location

Keep in mind the property prices are not cheap, especially in good locations.

I own a demolition and site work company that has transitioned to new construction so I've been in the space for years in columbus ohio. not sure what market you are in but I'd look where land is cheap. you are competing with love's around the country in rural areas so I would say urban or within 30 miles of urban is much better they don't build them that close. https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/infrastructure/truck_parkin...
