The city did ask for me as a contractor (through the new owner) to pull a demo and building permit and make necessary corrections.

I know enough to handle demo but not to do professional quality work.

LOL.. judge just signed my order.. house is 100% covered in vines and blackberries and there is just a tiny path to the front door.. she opens the cat food cans and just chucks them on the little space on the porch.. since she would not answer us I had the cops do a wellness check and they did get her to the door.. you have to hold your breath when you get within 10 feet it.Also I am told the brother took a car apart and put it back together in the basement so supposedly there is a full size car we will have to deal with.. but this is a demo and rebuild new construction...

Of course, for you, the attraction of giving up profit is not having to make the monthly payment, but HML like the added time pressure created by the rehabber having to feed the interest monster.I've met a few people here locally that have broached partnering with me, where they'd provide all of the capital, but I have always wound up doing some work myself on projects to save $, but it's a different equation when saving $2,000 on demo is really only putting $1000 in my pocket.

it will get completely cleaned/demoed and locked for a few months until we are done with #22 and #23, and maybe #25, which will be a flip. this one will sit on the back burner and simmer. but normally we can do this in 2 months or less. i try not to rush these things.rent - projected around $1,150 if i put a shed, since it has no garage.not sure if you can see the rest of the pics if you follow the link - https://picasaweb.google.com/105275838861600742492...

I have found a cute Cottage that has already had all the demo done. it is for sale by owner and they were listing possible owner financing. at 35000 I think this could be a dream situation to get in to.

Has anyone ever used the house demo orders list in their city for leads?

Problem #1- After the demo, we realize that all of the Electrical is a fire hazard and there are no lights in any of the bedrooms or living room...

I will handle all the demo and some smaller bonus projects myself too.

We have started an LLC, and our putting together a great team (Contractors, Attorney, Local RE Agents and an accountant) We are in the demo phase and the place is down to the studs.
