I found an owner that wants to sell his duplex.  Whats next?  This is my first deal that doesn't involve a real estate agent and the conventional process.

Do i contact a lawyer and have papers drawn up or does the seller have his own?  Does anyone have any examples they could give me?

thanks

@Anthony Angotti

Yeah, me too.  I know the company said they didn't do it and I believe he said it wasn't to code but it's done often.  I asked him if wood would be cheaper option too.

I ended up getting a quote from one of the more reputable places in pittsburgh and the cost to tear down the one in place and construct the new steel one was $32k.

looking at a 4-plex with a 3 story fire escape in back that is in bad shape!  Never had to price one of these out before.  has anyone had the pleasure of having to replace one of these and how much did it cost?  It's steel not wood.....

Yeah, sounds like too many variable that could go wrong here.  Always trying to get creative with aspects of this business.
