More than doing fixtures, floors, paint, etc, and you start tearing into walls, you're likely to find things you weren't aware of. 

When I had spoken to the city there was no options aside from tearing down the other building, it is an 8 unit 1BR, 1BA sitting sideways on 1 lot with no off street parking, it also had a partial roof collapse.

Hi folks,
Bought a parcel with an ancient singlewide, with added on corrugated metal roof for extended living area. I want it gone. Have quotes for demo / remove, over $10k.

@Michael FureyPlumbing:Check for leaks and other signs of water damage, such as water stains on walls or ceilings.Look for rusty or corroded pipes, which can indicate that the pipes are old and in need of replacement.Check the water pressure to ensure that it is adequate.Look at the condition of the septic or sewer system to see if it needs repairs or replacement.Inspect the water heater and other appliances that use water to ensure that they are in good working condition.Electrical:Check for frayed or damaged wires, which can be a fire hazard.Look for overloaded circuits or outdated electrical panels, which may need to be upgraded.Inspect the condition of light fixtures and switches to ensure that they are in good working condition.Look for signs of wear and tear on the electrical system, such as scorched outlets or outlets that don't work properly.Confirm that there are enough outlets in each room to meet the current standard.Make sure the grounding system is present and efficient to guarantee safety against electrical hazards.It's also important to keep in mind that an old electrical or plumbing system may have to be brought up to code before you can sell the property.

Unless it is a tear-down and rebuild situation, probably not.

It's always, "it's a total tear down and worth nothing".

More wear and tear and higher water/sewer bills. it may be just me but i avoid putting friends and relatives in the same small multifamily (2-4 units) no matter how highly recommended they come from another trusted resident. 

Do you have any ideas, or are you just saying he needs to tear the house down and redo the foundation?

I can see one tears down the rooming house but you will lose $60K. 

You bring me up to try to tear someone’s else down to promote your own self.
