Also offer to do any labor that you can reasonably do on the property (painting, demo etc) and use this not only as a great learning experience but also take your portion of the profit and then go do your own deal.

I put $550,000 into the demo and construction of this new single family home with over 2900 SF, 2 stories, 3 view decks, 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, large chef’s kitchen with top of the line appliances, huge yard, attached 2 car garage, and built in BBQ, fridge and bar seating for 7 on the backyard patio.

@Alison Cummins I bought a foreclosure, last owner let the cats run the place we demo everything and have been cleaning with bleach and painting with Shellac. 5 weeks later still cannot get rid of smell.

I was in a demo for ChicagoDealVault in a ChicagoREIA meetup. 

The only two options at that point are get used to the smell or demo the affected components.

Wont be able to post pics  anytime soon David S because im still in the demo stage its going to be a  big rehab personal house caught fire june 23 

Another way to save a ton of money is to reuse existing foundation therefore saving $14,000 in demo costs and foundation rebuild costs and permitting etc.

Demo .

I was going to demolish one so pulled the demo permit, decided to sell it as is so called them and they just had me cancel the demo permit, I think it was just a form, but if I paid them it was $50 or less.

What is the process for a demo permit and the cost?
