I would think that would knock out a substantial pool of buyers IMO! 

You could do BPO's for banks.Honestly, the time spent working at Costco could yield MUCH higher results if you spent that time knocking on doors, going to local meetups, volunteering around the community. 

With enough elbow grease I'm sure it can be knocked loose. 

“Raze, rebuild, repeat: why Japan knocks down its houses after 30 yearsUnlike in other countries, Japanese homes become valueless over time – but as the population shrinks, can its cities finally learn to slow down and refurb?”

@Reuben Royal - Before you head down this route and spend lots of time and money trying to wholesale pre-foreclosures, from our experience (almost 4 years) of trying to buy pre-foreclosures is that the owners either want to home to go into foreclosure (sounds crazy but true) or are so underwater that they can't do anything with it.We did everything from door knocking, mailing, etc and the only way we ever bought them was at auction.Also many states have strict laws regarding putting homes under contract that are in pre-foreclosure. 

Good luck...Yeah - I 100% agree with you ... this was just harvesting some material before the backhoe comes in and knocks the thing down.  :-)  Unfortunately no cool moulding or door knobs or anything of much interest... just the original fir floorboards (*beautiful* tight grain) we'll do something neat with.Been working on this project for 20 months or so - it's an urban subdivision and new home construction.  

@Joe Splitrock yes it is. knock on wood not yet...

Typically the condo fees on condos will knock out your cash flow.

Let me see if I can formulate my question -- this is for anybody here that has had any experience with custom home builders that knock down old, small, 1950-era houses and put up 3,500 - 4,000 square foot mini-mansions that go for $800-$900K.I got a seller that has asked me to come look at their house down around 610 in the Heights. 

I know I should go new but that would essentially knock out all the money I had made since owning it and was hoping to start using it on cosmetic repairs.Thanks for any insight or advice!
