whats a good estimate for exterior painting per square foot?

But make sure you're paying off debts aggressively and don't let your foot off the gas until everything is paid off.

They indicated that on average people insure anywhere from $100 to $200 per square foot, which would be between $139,500 and $279,000. 

There are some good 1-5% down owner occupied loans that could be an easier foot in the door.

It was a very simplified approach but amazing way to show the 1000 foot view of real estate. 

Moisture / water / mold, knob & tube wiring, foundation issues, ancient plumbing, rust on the breaker panels, termite tunnels, powder post beetle damage, cedar post supports, improper footings, temporary lally columns, etc.As to writing an offer, that's a sensible and common approach.
