Are you a RE Investor or RE Entrepreneur?
8 February 2015 | 29 replies
I don't have anything on a business card (don't even have a business card right now), but I would consider myself an entrepreneur.In fact, my 'elevator speech' is that I'm a homewrecker - that makes people stare at me, grin a little, wondering if I'm joking and then they go off on my floor to hear what exactly I mean ;-).When you do major rehab, you have to demo first (wreck), before you can do rehab.

What to do if the structure (demo) may be less than the land?

One question that has been on my mind is the possibility of locating a property that is so dilapidated that it may be a complete demo or gut; thus, making the land worth more than the structure.
