I plan on starting demo work first week of May and want to get thing thing turned around by 1st of July.

There's no grass since it was just demoed in October, so it's all straw under the snow.

Purchasing the other house to demo and reconstruct an 8-10 unit MFR would generate much more income for the long run, but we would have to put in a large initial investment and take quite a hit in terms of time.My main concern is that I have interest in demolishing the house and creating a multi family residential, but we are totally new to this so I don't think it'll be a great idea.

So, I eventually ended up scheduling a demo with Costar.

Demo, you will not make back the cost to rebuild and its present condition is pulling down the value of the property.

I’d also be Leary of letting you demo/repair my house under some agreeement that maybe you may not complete....them I’ve got some battle/law suit with you and can’t sell my property.

Demo has just started but I'd sell for the right price as-is instead of finishing it myself.

Its tough when you have a crumbling tax base.. people leaving. commercial and resi vacant and non producing.Maybe it will be like Detroit were they just demo and return the land to park like status. open spaces etc.. of course that cost money.a lot of Detroit got burnt down by vandals..

Rehab included demo of a few interior walls/kitchen soffit to open the property up, all new interior paint/flooring/base boards, exterior paint, roofing repair, AC unit, replaster of the pool, equipment maintenance, all new landscaping, full new kitchen, all new showers/valves/tile.

I've done a number of demos over the years but there has never been enough material to make any real money on scrap.
