I am a young, fresh out of college (January), kid looking to invest.

We've already baked in amounts for 3-phase electrical service to the shop and dust and fume ventilation (planers like the one pictured generate a lot of dust).

Great beaches, affordable, kitschy as hell (a la Branson, gatlinburg, Wisconsin dells, etc).Do note the seasonality and make sure it’s well baked into your numbers.

You want a fresh set of eyes versus your own.  

and enough pots pans and eating stuff to last 8 days, or would you need maid service more often.If the sink has a hand held squirt nozzle and a soap filled sponge wand it's easier than doing dishes by hand.The maid could change the sheets and towels, vacuum, cleanse the kitchen NSF sanitary (including the fridge), take the garbage to the curb, put down some carpet fresh, etc...Let the boys divvy up grass, snow shoveling and who makes the pot roast, carrots and potatoes for that night (that's a real muscle building meal).If you do go with a maid, it might be wise to pick one they won't be hitting on all the time, to ensure she is there to get her work done vs etc...

At least you can budget for 3 or 4 a year. and that way they won't all need to be replaced at the same time again.. like light bulbs you buy new ones and install fresh and they all go out about the same time.Warranties, and Rebates from your power company may be something to take advantage of and price a good plumber to do several at one time.. you may be looking at additional issues with code venting and I'd get a plumber to price a install to get a cost idea, Don't buy and store new water heaters, the warranty starts the day you take it home,, 

buying courthouse steps properties or auction properties where its known up front that you cannot get into them is one thing.. and you bake that into your offer price.. 

You don't know how fresh their data is, it usually comes in widely varying formats that are hard to work with, it's often incomplete data, and you can't really control the exact criteria.

I think it may be best to just demolish both buildings and start fresh based on the amount of work the vacant building needs.
