Additionally, the correct kind of insurance for our set up here is over 2200 a year (will be cheaper if this was not also our primary residence) and we work from home and desperately need better office space.

Between working 60-70 hours a week and spending the rest of my time with two kids under two years old, I’m just not sure how to get started in this space.

@John S Lewis  a few ideas, some easier than others...1) search lien records through the county2) check the system itself (panels and indoor hardware) for labels placed by the installer in case of service needs, pretty common, then call them up3) see if any neighbors have similar systems and ask them who they used, then call them up4) call local installers and ask whether they worked on that property5) looked up previous owners and ask them who installed, but check with installer about status rather than rely on the foreclosed party's representation6) Don't worry about it? 

Nothing was level, the spacings incorrect, and was never sturdy.

However, since it is a bungalow, the space I could work with is minimal and the cost is high.

The only time I would is if it was negative while I lived there but would become positive after moving out and renting out my space.

The reality is: buying a rundown, unlivable property to BRRRR is more sustainable and immediately profitable than buying a perfectly good unit and hoping that new tenants will pay more for updated living space (may or may not depending on your specific area, but unlikely).

Want to quote it two different ways: rehab of existing space (mostly cosmetic); an addition of a 3rd bedroom and extra bath. 

Top of the line finishes, ample parking and yard space allows for luxurious city living.

@Nicole Heasley true. my hope was that someone had a space we could congregate at.
