Old Home Buyer....

Old home buyer help.

Well I am old but I have questions about the old home I am buying. I am buying an old victorian house in Iowa. It needs a ton of work but I am willing and able to do the work. It is currently uninhabitable but it can be saved. This is my dream home. I was a carpenter by trade but that was 25 years ago. I changed careers but continued to do all of my own work and restored 2 old homes and built new over these years. I re-upped my contractors license in anticipation of buying this old home. I tried to get the city inspector involved early and work with him but he went into full panic mode and just kept going on and on about how I will need contractors upon contractors to do all of the work. I reminded him that I am a licensed contractor and he didn't seem to care. My question is, is there a list of what I can and cannot due myself on my own home as a licensed contractor? Please help give me a leg ro stand on? I will follow all of the codes. Pull all of the permits. And get all of the inspections required. I just want to do as much as I can myself.

Thanks in advance.
