I think I had a thread on here a while back about me trying to remove paint from an interior fireplace. I tried chemicals, and the best thing that worked for me was a wire wheel on a grinder. Keep in mind, I was and still am living in the house. Literally dust of every kind everywhere, cleanup was a pain.

Most painted brick houses seem to be done so to cover up the cracks from settling and poor tuck pointing. Prepare for a leveling bid. Then prepare for a plumbing bid for cracked sewer lines and broken yard line. Then prepare for a tuck pointing bid. Then prepare for a drywall bid. Then a painting bid. Etc.
Power spraying will work just fine. It wont be perfectly clean. God, Texas heat and Texas sun will finish off the small stuff over time.
Rubbing Alcohol will dissolve water based paints. Im not sure how to scale that up for your application.
Id walk the deal if there wasnt a mnimum 60k margin.
Good luck MrCTR

Probably will want to reseal with the correct masonry sealer. Masonry has to breathe, never paint brick.
