With what I've read, they seem to have come a long way but with wood and steel cost increases are they still an affordable option?  

The house has a fenced in yard, wood floors and vinyl plank on the main floor but new carpets upstairs. 

Temperature inside 86.2-5 out of 12 drawers  in the kitchen were nailed shut.( boxes were gone)3-Wash machine didn't run any cold water , ever.( needed new value)4- no screens on any windows. ( house built in 2006)5- kitchen cabinets (used) installed in both bathrooms. ( guess vanities cost to much)6- both toilets rock because they replaced tile with fake wood and the flange was 3/4 inch high.( cost a pretty penny to get a plumber to cut down and re seal up for a holding flange)7- No pee traps in either bathroom drain

I will definitely ask for quotes from contractors.The property rents for $4K / month after its ready.From the pictures, it looks like all the foundation/framing is done and water/electric is set up with no equipment.Everything else is not done - meaning if go inside the house, all you see is wood frames/trusses.Is this too big of a project for an first time investor?

It has a new roof, new heating, new air, water softner, security cameras, networking, and ip phone system, on top of granite counter tops, and a ice cream bar with about 5 to 10k worth of custom cabinets wood shelves for medicine display.

Wood, doors windows insulation, land mostly unchanged.  

The very first day we went binding I got an inspector out there and this is what he found:- A questionable foundation (recommended a structural engineer check out because soil has been dug out around support pillars)- Plumbing issues (multiple leaks and some cast iron pipes)- Recommend a termite letter due to visible signs of wood damage in a small area- HVAC nearing end of life- Some mold present in crawl space- Electrical: none of the outlets are groundedThis is not an all inclusive list, just the more big ticketed items.

If you're looking on market in my neck of the woods almost everything sells for 3-7% OVER asking.

We put in a wood burning insert and it was pretty expensive.
