I plan to replace this before flip is complete.

But not including utilities, HOA fees, etc.I do plan on doing moderate, functional theming and a game/theater room.

Once you have a plan, choose a market that aligns with your goals and find a mentor doing what you want to do. 

We plan to build in 1-2 years but this first year is going to be planning, permitting, excavation and septic.

What are your plans moving forward?

Come to the table with a plan, and finances worked out to get the best service and agent.

I was planning on living in it while doing the repairs.

At this stage of my life (71) years old and more concerned with estate planning than career advancement, my top priority is asset preservation on an INFLATION ADJUSTED basis.

Taking the primary residence from a 3 to a 4 bedroom, adding HVAC, new open floor plan, modern kitchen and bathrooms as as well as adding massive walk in closets in two of the four bedrooms.

They may want less than what you are planning to offer:)
