Demo out all the fire damaged materials, then do some additional meditation like running ozone machines to kill any remaining smell.

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.

Hello i bought my first piece of property in march of 2020 and have invested my own money in totally demoing and fixing it up myself in the evenings.

This small kitchen demo requires one guy 1-2 days maximum, and a garbage trailer.

I think the play would be to buy the lot demo the cabin and build a nice new home on it.

Most of the demo work has been done in the home and the architect has the drawings for expanding the home.

At this time I am seeing 3 suitable options that I may be able to move forward with to use as a short term vacation rental or long term rental.Option 1: total Rehab of the interior/exterior while using the old foundation (if inspection finds strong/usable) Option 2: total demo of the structure and build a larger house on the second parcel outside shoreland management zone options 3 (combination): rehab/use as ADU and build larger house on second parcel Thank you for the help in advance! 

In addition to demo of all flooring and cabinets, we removed the popcorn ceilings and all light fixtures, fans, and hardware.We repainted inside and out.
