@Mason PeacockYes, I use an app called DealCheck in the iTunes library and I like it a lot.

Decided that 401K's is exactly what this situation calls for.We had a year like this in 2011, had to put on a new roof, and we all had to upgrade our PC's, ran us about $10K.

Some REI books from the library or a bookstore would help tremendously.

It could be a city department wanting to build a new library for example and they want to avoid the demo cost so they will offer the house free or at a very deep discount like maybe $2K to whoever show to have the wherewithall to move it and has a legal lot to move it onto.

I'm looking at a $470,000 purchase price for a beautiful home built in 1920 downtown of a growing town in the north bay area of San Francisco (1 block from library, popular wine tasting and shops).

Here are the specifics: https://www.municode.com/library/tx/houston/codes/code_of_ordinances?

I went to my local library and there were a lot of books on how to estimate construction cost (the librarian helped me find a few that were good for beginners), I will use those for the analysis.I assume my estimate can't be perfect, and if I was to make an offer on such a property, I would locate a contractor local to that market to help me with real rehab cost.
