Is demo an option?  

There is no question the basement is infested with mold, but it's unfinished meaning demo would be minimal. 

Plus - that is not a cheap area to but purchasing houses at market value for demo....I don't know your experience level but if you want a piece of the pie you will have to find a partner who can do this deal for you from start to finish... 

If she's saying 100k now, wait til the demo happens and she starts pushing change orders at you. 

If it's a rehab property it doesn't really matter what the inside looks like, it's all going to be demoed.

Since we were new to the area (the state for that matter) it took a couple weeks to find a contractor, but once we signed with a contractor that was willing to work with us (we did a good bit of work ourselves) it took seven weeks from demo to contract.

I was kind of wondering how much red tape I’d run into if I just put a fence up and demoed the road.

We are looking for contractors with crews for our fix and flips in Dallas/ Oklahoma properties.The crew must have experience working with single family homes, multi-units and small apartments.Must be licensed and insured and have tools.Trade work will include; Drywall, paint, electrical, plumbing, flooring kitchen/ bathroom installation, tile work, demo, and dumping, etc.Please be available April 22-24.

@Wei Jie Yang love working with you as well sir!

I'm going to be the Yang to @Theresa Harris' Ying.When you make any deal, you should have your exit strategy(ies) sketched out when the offer to purchase is submitted.
