Many insurance companies give you the option to insure a property at its market value, which may be significantly less (or more, I suppose) than the cost to rebuild the structure (the rebuild amount is typically referred to as the replacement cost, which is where the confusion comes in, as this is not referring to RCV coverage).  

., i worked my *** off 70 and 80 hrs a week, worked my dead end job and went right to fix or build in a rental every day before and after work. was doing well building my portfolio, had a hand full of hold properties, did all my own work rebuilding them from the ground up so i wouldnt be a slum lord. 

Also, work to rebuild your rainy day funds and clean up personal finances. 

Mortar to make up the space between the curved wall and the straight metal.I talked to a structural engineer who thought it would work but was concerned about the building department signing off on it.I know the right way is to support the structure and rebuild the foundation and wall but right now property values don't justify that fix.It's probably just a wild idea but if someone has used it or seen it used any insight would be great.

We still talk to him often as we only renovated the bottom 2 floors and still have the top floor and an attic expansion and a complete garage rebuild with a deck.

@Michael---It's only a matter of time before the city rebuilds, and when it happens, people who bought the thousand dollar houses will reap the rewards.

I believe any problem that presents in life is a simple stand-in for deeper issues - issues that are often so enmeshed into one's own personality that their (eventual) resolution (aka transformation) requires a disintegration of self (literally, a dis-integration), and a subsequent rebuilding of the self.

You'll be replacing the roof every 10 years unless you rebuild it now.I don't know rents in the area, but your other numbers have been off so you might want to double check that too before you jump into this one.  

Which is why I had forgotten about it until I got the notice to rebuild the house recently.How exactly can I "update" the tax payer information?  

You may need nuclear warheads (small, precise) to blast through the concrete if you want to destroy the facilities.Regardless, until you take out the leadership, there's always a chance they'll rebuild.
