Demolition of Foreclosure Single Famiily Residence in Phoenix

[Ed Caldwell]

Two years into investing and now FULLY understand the risk of buying sight unseen foreclosure at auction.  Looked good from the outside, but bad from the foundation up.  Anyway, this small house is in downtown Phoenix and was hoping for some recommendations for someone to get the permits and demolish the entire house that won't cost me an arm and a leg.  I received a certified letter from the city requiring me to board it up by the end of the month at a minimum, but that is only a temporary fix for 90-180 days depending on material used.  I was wondering if there were handymen or others that can perform this as well, since it will most likely take longer than the end of October just to get the permits?  I have never dealt with this before, so any advise is greatly appreciated.
