@Letitia Harris I have removed chimneys on other people's houses, just took down 3 on one property, 2 just below the roofline and one all the way down but that one was outside the home.below the roofline is easy as long as the rest of the chimney is structurally sound which a good GC will tell you.

Hi @Harry Asnien.

Harry Cassidy is one of the best listing agents in SE Michigan.

Look up the legal description on Harris CAD (or whatever county it is in) then go to the County Clerk's website and pull the plat.$100-$200 for title work is also probably a good idea... more important than the survey if you're talking about a platted lot in a subdivision.

@Harry GeorgeI think I know the property that you are speaking of and you will not get $700 in rents in this area unless you fix the property up and I mean a total rehab.
