I hired my son & 4 of his teenage friends to do the demo.

My responsibilities were to demo 80% of a 70,000sf building built in 1906.

So, if you have a project in progress, and could use an extra free hand with demo, drywall, running errands, etc. and have valuable knowledge and connections to help a novice trying to get into the biz, message me!

Yes, it costs money to tear down and haul off debris, a demo permit, and of course buying it from an owner that thinks it is only slightly less valuable than the lot next door that has a habitable house on it.Despite the shortage of listings, I am enjoying the challenge of finding sellers that are willing to sell.... drive for dollars, absentee owners, and for sale by owners are some of my favorites to interact with.As a realtor, I feel that I am here to help those that need it; for those that know what they're doing, welcome to the exciting ever changing market!

I.e. all demo work completed, $4,000 due.  

I.e. 1/3 due up front, 1/3 due at 50% and 1/3 due upon completion is a huge red flag to me.But X due upon completion of demo, Y due once all rough in inspections done, Z done when drywall is hung, mudded and sanded, I am fine with because those are easy yes/no items.

Be sure to note that just because a neighborhood checks those demo boxes doesn't mean it’s a good place to invest (this is also highly dependent on your investment style) So, understand the demos then take a more quantitative approach.

I was planning on remodeling the kitchen (add an island, add a stove vent, change the countertops, touch up the cabinets), demo and move the internal wall of an office space and make it into a 3rd bedroom, and maybe update the flooring.This might be more of a question for a CPA that is also an RE investor but please let me know if you have some insight on this situation.

At the initial demo, I provide a roll-off dumpster if necessary.

Love closing day, demo, and transforming a space.
