Now-a-days I have my clients complete the Uniform Residential Loan Application b/c of questions and back-and-forth exactly like this, but I used to do it for my clients based on their paperwork as a "customer service" thing (I was trained to do this by "elders" that had been writing mortgages pre-2008, so as a "customer service" thing they had always put in that everyone makes $25k/mo as a janitor, right?)

If you totally rehabbed everything that you mentioned for only $23,000 you need to write a book and tell the rest of the world how to do it so cost effectively. :-)

You'll also likely have to write a strong letter of explanation to explain why your properties went into forbearance and why it's not likely you'll go back into forbearance. 

I'm looking to find a lawyer to help write a purchase contract and a business contract for use on an upcoming deal.

There is so much to write 🤣 So much depends on what you are looking for.

See if you can break out Roads, Security, electrical, security systems, etc. for year one write off.5.
