If it is in an OZ as defined by ZIPcode, you just don't do nothing besides owing it and then get to skip on taxes.You'll have to make a substantial investment to the point of razing or major rehabbing it.Find a CPA in town that dies RE and taxes and ask them, do not ask a broker, I barely get it and most brokers have my level of knowledge at best.

The best antidote to analysis paralysis is to thoroughly define your criteria so that you can recognize a good deal when you see one. 

It's how they respond to the mistake is what shows character (or the lack thereof).

The Washington Administrative Code (WAC), defines those requirements at: WAC 458-61A-202 https://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?

Obviously most of the work would be setting the theme and decor ourselves, but finding a house with some legitimate history to it could have the attraction of coming at a $ deal (i.e. if someone died in it) and would add to the character.

And you'd have to define them and probably have the third party verify them.

Your agent will help you define your criteria and show you deals.

What a solid character.

Define with them what an emergency is.
