Perfect example Oregon ( Hillsboro tech Hud) got a massive amount of Chips Federal Grants as Chips are seen as a National need ( dont want to rely on Taiwan)  Intel is largest employer in state . the city of Hillsboro identified 1700 acres to bring in to ensure future high Tech growth ( got to have the land)  the no growthers and farmers and newspapers scream we cant have sprawl U cant do this.. we have plenty of land already in the Urban Growth areas.. while thats true very few parcels are over 40 acres in size.

Secondly, I would shop lenders using the Find a Lender function on BP.

NIMBY syndrome is perhaps one of the largest challenges any sober house will face. 

I just turned 55 and have 33 rentals and 135 storage units.You may be better off buying as many properties as possible for the next 5-10 years, then paying them off, starting with the smallest mortgage and working up to your largest.

  $50/sqft for a full interior and functional update, $100/sqft for a full gut down to studs, $150/sqft for newcon .If these numbers make sense I would want to visit the property for a true estimate, where it would be line item work scope development. 

Figure you've got the following functions of the house (assuming you've never bought a house before) decide which functions of the house you're worried about breaking and how soon and accommodate for such things.

Before I rent a place it functions perfectly and they are remodeled with the idea that I'm renting to knuckleheads, so all things are accessible, repairable, common, and not high value.

If you really feel you must get this place get multiple quotes on the largest issues, write an extension to the inspection contingency and do more due diligence.
