It's basically gutted inside already and I would only consider buying it if I could purchase it for land value (it has 10 acres) + energy (it has massive solar panels) because its probably take 100k to rehab (assuming stucture is fine).I know most people "looking" at it are intending to tear it down and completely rebuilding...

& YES I would have a hard time parting with the 0.025% Interest on the escrow account.Last one did an excellent job until he walked away from $6,700 & all he had left was the following for the OP.Basic 3 wood 'contractor' rear steps, gutters & down spouts, audible alarm on grinder pump, 2nd coat on front door & pillars, wiring etc from panel to late a/c install.

But, they also were the same tenants that stuck a screwdriver into a live electrical panel, so I take that with a grain of salt. :)

R803.2 Wood structural panel sheathing.

For regular 120 V wiring, if there is an overload or short, the Romex might temporarily have to handle several thousand watts, without getting hot enough to start a fire, before the circuit breaker in the main panel pops. 

We removed the paneling and just adding the drywall brightens the room...this is real rock and there was a "bar" area in the foyer that we demo'd but this fireplace is a beast. 

We ended up putting 3 contingencies down that they eventually fixed: a recalled electrical panel that had multiple double taps, a service and cleaning of the furnace (which ended up not in running condition so they installed a furnace from another house to replace it), and an adjustment of the hot water limit switch due to it not being up to temperature (the shower faucet in the upstairs would be cranked all the way left and it would be luke warm, but the downstairs was scalding in that position).I figured I would end up spending "x" amount of money getting to small claims just to have the case thrown out.

If you ever want to upgrade or change to high flow shower heads or add a shower panel later, you'll be glad you have all the water pressure you can handle available.Age-proof your bathroom.  

I kick myself for once opening up a stud bay per floor of nasty cement on metal lathe for risers in units on one side of a building, when on the other side a later electrician just fished the riser up through the plumbing chase and put the panel in a much better location.

Here are my questions and areas in which I hope for some sort of advice or suggestions:Wood Paneling-I want to paint the wood paneling a fairly light color.
