I also had a chance to almost pick up an old 1800s barn house for free, it had a hole in the roof but very cool exposed beams an hour from Lewiston and Auburn.

The 2 car garage needs a seperating  wall because the last owners removed the wall and it probably needs a supporting beam where the wall was removed.Its a 2 bedroom one bath duplex with a garage for each tenant.  

However, Facebook presents an opportunity to laser-focus your targeting right down to their location, age, interests, buying power, home value, etc.

The rest of the support system would involve roof beams or trusses. 

The dividing wall has to be replaced one way or another and it has to have a supporting beam to make it into the original 2 car garage.  

The house is typically post & beam construction and the planks infill the area between the vertical posts.

Looks like this is a pier and beam home which is usually a lot less when needing to repair foundation. 

I'll be concise.Due to the termite damage and poor foundation I brought-in a house moving company, we slid 2 steel I-beams through the house, lifted the entire 2nd story and demoed the first floor down to the dirt.

Take a 30,000 foot view of the general direction (real estate) and start to whittle it down to 20,000 and 10,000 foot until you finally get to a laser focused niche view of how you want to proceed.
