The Investment is calculated in the D to E columns, Rows 1 to 8.Because I used a Mortgage of $119k and only Invested $28k including Closing Costs, I am able to generate extremely high ROIs.If this property was kept by me (It's not, this is Marshall's property now and I'm just using it as a demo for this example), and I sold it today, the Sales Proceeds would be $837k as calculated in the G to H Columns.I Summarized a "Simple Interest Calc" plus a Rate of Return Calc.Yes, this property returned a 2889% total ROI, an equivalent of a 161% ROI/YR over 18 Years and the Equivalent of a 21% Rate of Return (RoR).There are some things that weren't added to the Calculations such as Renovations (around $50k) and Positive Cash Flows (but it was Negative Cash Flow the 1st 3 years), rent Increases, Expense Increases, etc.We would need a much more comprehensive Spreadsheet to do all the calculations appropriately.Needless to say, this is a very BASIC analysis of a REAL purchase that I made.

Fast forward another year I have realtor friend who wants to list the land at 750-775, which would end up as a loss to me after demo costs, taxes and commisions. 

The demo man is lending me the 100,000 at 5% with a 5 year payoff.  

I had the excavation company that did the demo on the old pad already do the grading and lay down road mix for the pour so I am probably getting a discount for having that done.

HelloWhat is the approximate cost for a professional to demo an existing turned staircase made of wood and put in a straight staircase against an existing wall?

Demo the house and build something brand new? 

Last time I drove by the basic demo wasn't even done, and there were a bunch of "cease all work immediately" orders from the city taped up all over the property.I get that you're worried about capital gains taxes and all that, but that's like worrying about if you used the turn signal or not while your car is mid-air flying off a bridge into the river below... let's focus on what matters.

Hi everyone,I'm curious: does anyone have insight on estimated psf demo costs for a single family home in the Orlando/Central Florida area?

Some very rough numbers may look like this,  roof and gutters 10k, bath/floor 7k, kitchen 10k, paint patch 7k, floors 3k, windows 2.5k, hvac 7k (central air and furnace), electric  trim, lights 1 k, doors $200a piece (door and  hardware),  water heater and plumbing (excluding bath and kitchen above) $1,800, driveway ($10/sf for concrete), ceiling at basement $800,  demo $1000, electric,  water,  taxes,  holding costs,  etc .

I have a window guy who's great and got it all @$305/window, my concrete guy (while slow) was good quality and fairly priced and gave me a discount since I gave him the demo and fence work as well.
