I nearly did the same thing in my town. Bit more expensive, but there was a roughly 18k-sqft old fraternity house in town. My wife and I considered purchasing it at $400k, we put an offer in at $350k, but it was declined.
Another group bought ($390k) it and completed a remodel (estimated $180k) and it's now worth ~$1.25m and it's beautiful. Kind of regret not purchasing it, but it just wasn't in the cards at that price.
- jnwatson 7y agoI won at auction and helped renovate a 90-year-old former sorority house. We started with an estimate of $300k and ended up at over a million dollars. Every time I hear "we should estimate software like we estimate construction", I tell this story.
