Understand that many times porches are filled with the last remnants of construction debris and are poorly constructed from the start.Again, I recommend getting a professional on-site to help you gain understanding of what made the concrete steps fail before putting a price to it. 2$ a sq. ft. to parge coat is a minimal cost / $1500 to demo and rebuild is another story.

@John Yang, you have to be original and post not only daily news and promotions, but some useful information as well.

Haven't seen the inside yet, but got the property at a very good price.Can anyone suggest a good demo company?

This is demo, hauling away old sheetrock etc,  labor, all electrical, rough materials, new insulation, paint and inspections.

Hello, does anyone here have a contract that I can use as a demo for wholesaling ?

The thought from my CPA, who I questioned on this, hence the post, was that I can call the loss in building value a loss in year one which would be be flowed through, I have a LLC, at ordinary income tax rates (35%) rather than when I dispose of it in year 2 and the demo costs only save me at long term gains tax (22.8% based on my income).This didn't seem proper tax treatment to me but was curious if I can argue a different intent would there be beneficial tax outcomes?

This is just a shot in the dark, but my biggest demo/trash removal renovation on a 1740 SF house used two 30 yard dumpsters.

Do you prefer to have any, some, or most demo done that leaves you more access to issues and a blank canvas?

They usually aren't too expensive, take a demo, try one out with a free trial and go from there!

Rake up the yard, power wash the house, demo small things you know will be demo'd.
