Demo everything.

Nice @Rodney Williams , hopping on their live demo in a few minutes.

If you are going to open that up again, I would add a brace on the inside of the wall long the rafters with a couple of posts on both sides, not to raise the ceiling but to be tight and help support it while I demo the concrete in the opening.

We will demo the place ourselves the first few days.3.

I look for two or three months to find a good deal and once I've landed one, it takes me anywhere from 30 to 75 days to rehab it (I do some of it myself like demo, paint, landscaping, etc.).

You can then look to what home would be built and it's MV, estimate 20% building that home and deduct costs for demo, hauling and permits.

The government love to spend taxpayer's money, and I saw it first hand about 10 years ago when I submit a bid to the government, and I bid 40% higher than what the government budget was, and I got the contract because I was the only one that provides a demo showing what they will be getting.

We are looking at some plumbing costs, and hvac repairs.I will keep you updated as we progress- we are mid demo now on things that need to get removed.

If it's not demo'd already, you have to file a demo permit and get someone who has taken an asbestos class be in charge of the demo crew, they were suites.  

Definitely one of my favorite cities, and Demos' is inevitably my first stop when I get in town.
