Doing a tear down in South TX

Does anybody have any useful links/references when it comes to costing out a tear down?  I was thinking of buying some old 1930 house in a historic part of Brownsville and just having a demolition contractor pull permits, and remove the mess.  Then I could either build something new or sell to a builder/developer (assuming there are any).

My advice to anybody new is to find somebody doing what it is that you are wanting to do and get to know them.  So I guess I am wanting to reach to some somebody in TX, really anywhere in TX, that has any experience at all doing tear-downs.

@Jay Hinrichs please chime in and tell me 3-4 reasons why this might be a really bad idea.
