Your next-door neighbor knocks on your door because of a serious wound (might even have been a freak accident) or an errant driver jumps the curb and the car crashed into your bedroom.

But regardless, I now have a low laying nagging fear that I will buy a stud out rehab house and find out the city is going to knock it down.Anyone know anything about this stuff?

I knock on the door, ask for the owner, introduce myself and then ask if they would consider an offer on one of their properties they own.

If they can knock all work out within a week,  the house will hit the market early November,  if I hit any delays it could push into Thanksgiving after that its all down hill IMO until Late Jan.

Imagine them knocking on your door every time anything is broken.   

~ $450 for the bobcat & operator (we were going to just rent the bobcat but found a guy on Craigslist who owned one and was willing to also do the driving of it for about the same price as it would have cost to just rent the bobcat)~ $450 to buy a jackhammer to knock down the edges around the pool and also to make a large hole in the bottom of the pool for drainage (we could have rented a jackhammer for cheaper but this way we own one and can use it on future jobs)~ $100 to rent a tamping rammer to compact the dirt (to reduce the chance of it settling over time)So, in total, about $2600.

Steve I have one of eachMy daughter got a 4 year degree from Davis and is now semi senior management at Intel knocking down some fat checks.My son is a GC and is building 3 homes for me right now.. but he cut his teeth doing small rehabs for us.. then trained himself to be one heck of a finish carpenter to now he can build them as the GC from ground up. 

Let the questions pile up and come in and knock them all out :D
