I bet you can still get it online.I would fix it or replace it.

Best bet is to get all the details of the building structure then discuss with a company like this https://rooflifters.com As a GC I have lifted several roofs on buildings, lifted houses and buildings and my house moving company even moved a lighthouse successfullyhttps://www.nps.gov/caha/learn... 

However my realtor is really trying to convince me to consider doing AirBnB since it could potentially be higher profit margins in a perfect world.The small amount of research I have done on the topic as it relates to taxes seems to suggest that I may be limited in what I could take as deductions and depreciation when renting short term versus traditionally. 

You want to KNOW when you have your deal versus HOPING you have one.

It’s also much easier to diversify the same amount of money across geography, asset class etc. versus direct investment, resulting in a stronger portfolio.And you can access asset classes that are beyond reach of the typical investor.

You're basically keeping up with inflationIn this case, you're basically betting on appreciation.

If this is a long term buy and hold, then building a 1200 SF ADU would likely be the best bet as you don’t have to pay for any new dirt/land.

For the area you're looking at, I'd say $1800-$2000 is a good bet...possibly higher depending on the level of finish.

Hey you all,I’ve come to the conclusion that getting a hard money lender will be my best bet first my first property and probably future investments as well.

You will be locked into a low interest rate, versus a HELOC - which is adjustable and the rate can go up.
