I also recommend getting an engineering/environmental report if the property is on private water and waste water treatment plants or has any underground tanks. 

You will need books, towels, sheets, TV, plants, cookware, pictures on the walls, knick knacks.

I’m not chiming in to say that this is a good deal, but for the guy that says you are at risk of things like a tire recycling plant going in down the road from Orenco station is missing the mark.Buying under valued properties with upside or expandability is a great strategy in our market.

All too often on this forum we find folks that are trying to reinvent the wheel, and it’s often times because they don’t have the money or the ingenuity to buy an old fashioned SFH to plant their flag in the ground.

Since our son is young, we have a couple of years to move around before settling down into a great school district and planting roots.

Fifth wheels purchased and planted on the owner’s purchased lot and listed on Airbnb ( maybe other platforms too, not sure).

My only suggestion is to add some flowering plants there, to really wow them. 

With the survey in hand you can then create a proposed site plan which would generally include the following : Building size and location on the property, Septic area along with septic repair area ( unless you are able to tie into a sewage treatment plant), Parking, Building setbacks, Storm water retention area if applicable in your area, Lot coverage %, Fire Hydrant located within a acceptable distance for fire trucks to have access to, sometimes a landscaping plan and a lighting plan may be required. 

. ~$200/mo revenue from a power plant on the roof in addition to reduced utility bills will definitely be a selling point for the home, once you've removed the UCC/lien issue of course.
