I've talked with several contractors about potentially jacking up the roof and replacing the beams, demoing the roof and rebuilding, and even filling the whole garage with dirt and sealing it up, but my usual crews aren't interested in tackling the challenge. 

This is a single family property that we will rebuild into a luxury home. 

Whether you believe in his agenda or not, researchers have shown that his new plan will need to take on a massive amount of debt, which will be used to create jobs and rebuild our infrastructure.

I recently came across a prospect that is rebuilding their credit and wants to do a lease to own or rent it for 6 months to a year and then purchase the home.

We are looking for a 3-4 month rental while they will be rebuilding there home.

The Replacement Cost (RC) (cost to rebuild with the same kind and quality) or the Actual Cash Value (ACV) (Replacement Cost - Depreciation). 

I was thinking I could tear them down and rebuild but the current owner stated if I tore them down I could only build two properties on the lot, LA changed zoning or some ordinance years ago, so I am thinking of just rehabbing them and keeping the 3 units.

Looks like I probably need to rebuild that whole part of the house Also if anyone can recommend a good contractor in Baltimore who would handle that kind of work would appreciate a recommendation!

Your estimate of $20 a square foot would mean I could rebuild for $30K and this is obviously not going to happen when you consider high cost items such as new electrical, new plumbing, new HVAC, new kitchen and baths, etc.

For about the last 6 months I have found that houses are selling close to what the rebuild cost would be.
