If they are publicly held, you can look at their financial statements either through their investor liasion or through the EDGAR system:https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearc...If they are not publicly held, you can ask about their financial statements, but they are unlikely to give them to you.  

I'd either run away from this or buy it if you can get it extremely cheap (for what the land is worth) and you're in a desirable neighborhood (good appreciation or close to schools, businesses, public transportation, etc.).

You can discriminate when you live at that premises, if the place is for a religious or fraternal organization and for employees if the employer owns the property, in such cases you don't have any offering to the public for a rental.
