Take over a solo tech founder's app. Is this possible? What are somethings I should look out for?

has anyone taken over a solo tech founder's app? It is written in qt framework c++. I don't have access to the code, but he says he just maintains the code for 4hrs a week but is looking to sell it. Should I consider spending money to get 2 developers 20hr/week until they catch up, then bring it down to 10hr/week to maintain? What are some of the pitfalls, and things you would consider to take over this app?

in my 30+ years of experience taking over someone elses app usually means throwing it out the nearest airlock and doing it from scratch "correctly". The previous owner never knew what the tar they were doing. LOL
