Also, with the screens, depending on how long it's been abandoned, some or all of them will probably be torn, thus making them somewhat useless for keeping out bugs.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

If for some reason you want it in slightly better shape, make it empty but not abandoned. Someone inherits from poor rural relatives, and it is on the edge of a woods with good hunting, and they are hunters, so they pay electricity and property taxes and do really minimal maintenance like taping screens to use a couple of times a year for hunting.
Also metal roofs can hold up forever, though they don't always. So you can plausibly have the roof in good shape if you need to, even if it is abandoned.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey. New board.
What is with you cilantro-loving serial comma haters??
Word.
I like that it's just one-word, though. Very nice. Though I also like that I was able to vote "No" on cilantro and olives GENERALLY, not just in guac and muffalettas. Because that's my feeling all around.
