Thanks for everyone. finally I will get fund next week so can start demo next Monday!!

When you buy a trashed house like we did, we budged for the big things...demo, clean up, cabinets, bathrooms, carpet, furnace, etc.  

Also, demo.

When it comes to rehab work, first few days are most likely going to be nothing more than labor for demo any way.

Based on that, it takes about 10 seconds to see that everything but the "shingles/labor" seems pretty much in line with what I'd expect.Now, as for the "shingles/labor," for a 14 square roof, you're probably looking at $1600-1800 in roofing materials, $600-800 in demo/disposal, $1000-1500 to install new roof, and $1000-1500 to install the new trusses. 

It is a small project that should take approximately 1 week for a skilled tradesman, including paint (2 colors walls/trim), 800 sq ft of ceramic, install upper and lower cabinets (total of 12), lite demo,  set 2 toilets, minor electric and finally cutting a pass through door between the two units.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello, I think I have passed my phone interview and am now moving on to the demo.

Just read my blog this morning.Take title, demo, rehab, then buy them out.

Hi there- I just got estimates to demo a house in the Tampa area- built in 1940, around  1800 sq ft one story SFH plus 2 car garage and pool, and fill in the pool.

@Dixie Yang that makes sense.
