I have also had a house burn down, which ironically enough saved me about 5K as the land had good value but the house was a tear down and it reduced the demo cost I had to pay (no I did not start the fire!)

Dont' have to be best friends, but there is a path (if ego is set aside) that we can all together elevate this industry rather than tear a piece of it down. 

With the new laws the state passed about zombie properties they are really taking charge and tearing down a lot of run down and decrepit buildings.

I changed the roof (full tear off) on a colonial including it's garage in E English village for $9k which I thought was pretty good.

Yes, you might make more gross income....but when you factor in the added wear and tear, repairs/maintenace, and increased cleaning fees....are you really netting more money? 

Never have I felt unsafe.The city allocated millions a few years ago to purchase and tear down a dozen or so older motor inns on ocean blvd that had been left to squander and had become havens for the less than desireable.  

I’d like to buy vacant lots, tear-downs or single family properties with enough lot to print ADUs and do a mixture of rent, sell and owner finance the end product depending on the situation.

There has a to be a way other than tearing it all down and rebuilding.

The high HOA fees plus taxes plus wear and tear and the intense Airbnb competition (tons of units) in Miami make it difficult.

Tear them down.
