I think people buy those dollar stores sometimes assuming the store will be in that location forever and I've seen them several times move a few lots over and just rebuild.

If they let the buyers remove the pool cover then they have to rebuild it to make sure it is safe before closing.

Neighborhoods don't matter because investors are coming in buying the cheapest run down pieces of sh** and tearing down and rebuilding new multi-family if possible.  

A full range of nothing needed from very minimal work to some units that complete guts and rebuilds (to studs, electrical, etc).

Then consider the cost to rebuild and reprint or re-tile.

If so, how was your experience with your homeowner's insurance company and the rebuild? 

I had to put the contract in my parents name because my credit just isn't where it needs to be yet from a business collapse about 7 years ago and I am rebuilding credit now.

I’m in the process of rebuilding our credit (very low score currently) and should be in a good place with my FICO score in by years end.

It's basically a gut job and rebuild from studs and up.

well that depends on your house: you should be insured for somewhere between $150 and $250/square foot for your dwelling value (using really broad numbers here, but whatever it would cost to rebuild is the goal).
