Teardown vs. Renovation
I am trying to decide what is best to do, a teardown and new construction, or do the renovation.
I had the thought to do a teardown because the layout is terrible. It's 1000 sf and on a decent sized lot and could get for $165k less than ARV.
Thoughts?
Also looking for GC's and people to help with design and the actual reno.

You might consider doing the renovation, but also subdivide the lot and build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). That has been very popular here lately.
