I recently bought my first investment property in east Austin.  Original house was already demo'd by the seller.  I plan on putting 2 houses on the property, the first I plan to sell and the second I plan on renting o...

Unless you are getting a construction loan, the loan documents will require you to agree (in small print) that you will not be demolishing the structure, so the bank would not be happy to hear about your plans to demo the house and build other structures. 

Today I'm 15 days in to demo!

But anytime you can get them out earlier than that is a win.And starting rehab - yes, start as soon as you get in unless there is IRS lien; if IRS lien just do demo and stop until 120 days pass (IRS redemption period is 120 days).

@Jiwei Yang it all depends on the property, the appraised value, the income it generates and finally your experience and financial strength.They will use the income from the property to service the debt but they will still be looking for you to guarantee the loan so you will need good credit, income and assets including cash reserves.

Demo will likely cost more than $15k.
