I can make the deal work anyways, I have the cash to buy it outright, and can spend the first 3-4 weekends of weekend rehab doing demo, bleaching walls, patching minor drywall issues, painting walls, refinishing the wood floors, etc. 

I don't plan on doing any demo at this time, only cosmetic improvements to clean and modernize the space.

If you can combine cleanout and demo in the same operation, do it. 

I immediately began demo and then started the renovation.

This is a retail development with demo of an office building, build a new single-use international bank branch (5,500 SF), new build of international brand coffee retailer (2,200 SF), a new national branded wine and spirits retailer (8,000 SF), and additional retail space (12,000 +/- SF).

This is a retail project with demo of an office building, build a new single-use international bank branch, a new international brand coffee retailer, a new national branded wine and spirits retailer, and additional retail space.

However, we later learned that that was one of the top things the demo we rent for looked in a place out of college.

The entire site is just one big sales pitch ("What We Do", "Demo", etc.).If you want your voice heard, write directly to your officials. 

Since this is a bigger project than we have done before we plan on hiring a contractor to do the major work; demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, and sheet rock.

The property should start demo in one of the units this weekend so I would have no problems showing it as we go through the process.
