And although the city's historical legal usage records says that the property was used as a church for the last 45 years, The Phase 1 environmental company has come across maps that show that for a 20-30 year., the property was used as an auto repair shop.

This property has no Usage and Occupancy Permit.

There are a whole bunch of reasons to believe that we are heading for a worsening recession (or the start of a recession - usage of the word "recession" to describe the current climate depends on your political affiliation here in 2022 - I welcome all viewpoints on this!) 

This wouldn't always be inappropriate if they are getting a quick cash sale for a property in rough condition.If they were a little smarter and less greedy, they might find a sustainable model of what they are doing.

I wouldn't be shocked if you spent double that.My career is in energy analysis, so if you have any questions on energy usage, or an independent look at what kind of savings you could expect from equipment replacement I'm happy to help out.
