If you have the time to work through any issues, then it can obviously be done.

The engine shop is a 4 day a week proposition and me don't travel much anymore. God willing, I have time.
I have a 100 year old adobe building that was a house, then converted to office space and after the pandemic, I converted back to residential.
Added an ensuite bath, built a kitchen in an enclosed patio and redid the landscape to be drought resistant (my 106 lb wife and I moved 4 tons of rock and plants to make that happen) . Before we were complete, I friend/contractor was burned out of his place and offered to move in, finish the reno for a reduced rent.
Sometimes the universe offer solutions you never expected.
