Chimney Removal Heater Venting

I am looking to purchase a 2 family. Unfortunately, they have a non-working chimney that completely ruins the flow of the structure. I want to remove this chimney but have no idea if that is really difficult/expensive thing to do. Also the gas heater vents into the chimney so also have to find another place to vent the heater. Is this difficult as well? Appreciate any help guidance you guys can provide. This place needs work!

OP here. Non-working means that there are no fireplaces that vent into it. Yes, the Gas boiler does vent into it but I was thinking of a way to route this differently. It ruins the flow of the structure because it is literally in the middle of the building. I want to open up the space and since it's a small building it's hard to do that with a chimney in the middle.

Thanks for your input- pretty scary that it might be integral to the support of the structure and that difficult/expensive to remove.

The reason people post is they are simply asking for more information. There is no need to burn people simply for asking a question.

As a commercial/residential property owner, I agree with 9:16 and 9:26.
You should put down at least 30%. Save some more money. I put down 50% on my property and the terms were still not great (820 credit score).
