Good to know if you decide to do any demo.

This should be ongoing activity on your part.For this deal, another approach to consider is get worst case numbers (demo & replace) from contractors and use them for negotiations.  

Not only do you NOT absorb the demo cost.

Clearly the intent of the ad or this thread is not recycle value, but have any of you ever bought/sold materials from a demo?

The carpet and tile and granite people have great deals and charge competitive rates for things like demo in order to get the job.

Do some of the demo and stripping work yourself.  

Wouldn't be that hard to demo out the existing Sheetrock, replace it, and paint it.

If done correctly (with windows, nice stone finish material, etc), it could be an architectural asset as well.With some proper professional landscaping (maybe also cut out a planter along the side of house), and addressing the driveway issues, that should eliminate the aesthetic liabilities and give you an amazing amount of curb appeal.There are other possibilities for completely redesigning the approach to the entry (straight off the front with a right-angle landing and a gabled portico), but would involve a lot more demo-ing, building, and expense.Similar to this:http://www.houzz.com/photos/17493/Becker-Architect...

I just watched the demo video yesterday and it has a lot of really great features.

I am just getting started on the demo phase of my first deal.
