This is what the realtor said.. I edited out where the property is:

"I had a nice converstion with the listing agent regarding the property.
There is a spring for the water supply, so you would need 20% down payment.
It needs a water heater, tub or shower and a refrigerator. Also, sanding and painting on the interior.
There is an estimate of $1,500 on a part of the house that needs shingles.
The house is a plank house, meaning the solid wood walls are the insulation.
The listing agent guessed that about $30,000 worth of work would bring the house up to"stunning" condition"

I don't mind doing a bit of work. I rather enjoy painting and finish work, but if there's a ton of stuff to do then that's another thing altogether.
