We just don't quite know how to approach it and to determine what would be a fair price (one example was his price was about 62K for the architectural plans, permits, labor, materials, demo)I was trying to find other articles online about these kinds of ventures, but didn't turn up anything; so I figured some of you fine folks might have some insight into this.

If you want to work on our demo team you could.

So I just bought a house and started some repairs and the city turned up and informed my contractor the building has been condemned and has an existing demolition order.I just assumed this kind of thing was supposed t...

Words can't express my gratitude to you guys.After preliminary research, I can tell that a number of the homes in the town where I have my rental don't have HVAC and largely seem to be boiler heated, which doesn't come as a major surprise, given that A LOT of them are built early last century and aren't very conducive to HVAC by design.Judging from the dialogue here and further reflections with my principal contractor, I think we are sticking to our initial plan of boiler/insulation/ceiling fan combo, but once we've demoed everything that needs to go anyway (some ceilings and walls) and created a much more operable working space at the same time for installations, we are going to bring in professionals to get free quotes on HVAC and mini split systems, if anything, for future reference and negotiation fodder on the next property purchases.

I deal with old plaster demo and asbestos etc, and today I ran out of masks.

My wife is an interior designer in Silicon Valley. She comes across a bunch of investors who buy old homes, rebuild it and sell. So we are wondering if we can take up that as a business. Here are some initial numbers ...

After you demo it there's no house as collateral only land value, plus I'm reading this post as you're going to build and sell, not build to live in that's mortgage fraud in my opinion but I don't deal w/ too many lenders that's not my strong suit.

I am looking for the following if you could please send me contacts for: Wholesalers, property management, architects, engineers, framers, finishers, clean out crew/demo, insulators, conrete installers, window installers, tree removal. 

- RUN, don't walk.With that said, the first draw can certainly be whatever the two parties agree to and typically it is a sizable one upon mobilization of temp facilities (construction fencing, toilets, etc) and some materials or start of demo.

I would appreciate if anyone can provide some recommendations and contacts of guys in the area that can do the demo with permits and fill, that would be great.
