#1 close, next day demo, third day move in supplies and in this neighborhood you should have had an in person house babysitter day and night... and so forth for every day.

I'm getting ready to demo a house in Escondido to make way for a new multifamily development.

We did our own demo/prep work prior to the remediation and that kept our costs down.

He has done severalproperties like yours, get him to trim down his cost @ Demo to $8000, take $1000 off each bathroom, $2500 off Kitchen. 

Do you demo or hire a team? 

The condition of the property is in the demo phase, the previous owner wanted to do a full rehab and never got the time to invest into the project the whole home is striped to the studs of the and no flooring on the floor.

You are buying homes that are twice as expensive in the blue collar areas, you are dealing with different DEMO’s and economic standards.

(however the orders are not actually placed until the day you own it), schedule start times with the demo crew & contractors.

When we took possession, it was a quick clean out and demo.

When the asset is a complete loss we can typically reuse the foundation and build new so, our costs are similiar to new construction less the foundation but add the demo.
