Before you spend any money, you just need to price everything out (i.e. cost of homes, moving costs, installation, hook ups such as electrical, water, etc). 

The apartment is inhabitable, just no water/toilet access.Luckily, the permit was issued by late Monday afternoon. 

I have checked the maps of the department of power and water and the location of the power line is highly inaccurate.

Older buildings, lots of water, insurance issues.

Lots of old properties where I'm at, so it isn't unusual to expect $10k+ of capex out of the gate for water heaters, putting in central air possibly, and other old property issues.

Ran into some unexpected issues with having to run new power for the stove as well as having to run new water lines for the bathroom and kitchen.

The inspection revealed moisture issues in the basement, a fastener issue on the deck, and reverse polarity of some of the outlets.We are pending lead, mold, and chimney inspections.The HVAC, furnace, and water heater are functional but "beyond their lifespan."

Close proximity to another source of plumbing - either side by side, or stacked one on top of the other - means easier access to existing water and drain/vent lines, which will almost always be advantageous for your project budget.  

This step must be done carefully to avoid further damage.Structural Repairs: Address any structural damage first, including the roof, walls, and foundation.Systems Repair: Repair or replace electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems as needed.Interior Restoration: Once the structural and system repairs are complete, focus on restoring the interior, including insulation, drywall, flooring, and fixtures.Safety and Health Concerns:Air Quality: Ensure proper ventilation and air quality during and after the restoration process to remove smoke odors and contaminants.Mold Remediation: Check for and address any mold growth, which can be a common issue in fire-damaged properties due to water used in firefighting.Final Inspections:City Inspections: Coordinate with the city for final inspections to ensure that the property is safe and habitable.Fire Department Clearance: Obtain clearance from the Fire Department confirming that the property is safe to occupy.I hope this helps, best of luck!

One of the best things about the Pandemic was it forced sellers, buyers, lawyers, and title companies,... that were stuck in the past thinking everything had to be face-to-face, to modernize so you can sit at your pool and close
