The house needs so much work,  including foundation repair, that it makes sense financially to demo it.  

Depending on your plans for the house, if you are demo-ing kitchen cabinets to install brand new once without changing the locations of plumbing and not changing the lay out, then it might be okay to do as long as it passes residential building codes.

Then guess who pays to demo and haul away???

I had one contract cost them like 5k, someone converted it into living space, so we had to demo cabinets, countertops, cancel electrical and cap plumbing.

I have to say that the Propertyware demo seemed the most comprehensive, but that doesn't mean its the best.
