It should be obvious to anyone that's been here more than a day that you cannot breach that wall without turning a thread into full-contact warfare.

@Jaron Walling thank you very much Jaron for your opinion.

Just one hole in the wall and a dead mouse in a drawer. im kidding about the mouse. lol thank you

When you say complete demolition do you mean all the walls and roof down to leaving the foundation or new foundation also?

- How do I get comfortable with unforeseen risks (sewer problems, unknown foundation issue, roof etc) that ay come up once I crack into the walls?

Use the search function above...there are dozens of threads on this....in short, total waste of money.

Two of the nicest things you can do to any home are 1) open up the space, take down or put a pass-through in the kitchen wall 2) Get a new stone countertop and appliances for the kitchen, maybe a trick sink and under-cabinet lighting?

Took down six walls, added a deck, installed hardwood floors throughout, and installed a high-end kitchen...

but, I personally find it unsatisfying and frustrating to have someone start a thread about them investing in RE syndication and asking other investors experience only to find that they have started the same exact thread many times in the past AND  after my exposure to their post....and then to top it off they are not even really investors, nor are they really going at the topic from an investor mindset, but, rather have a purely 100% ulterior motive of promoting their own syndication....AND to add injury to insult, they are really horrible garbage investments.My opinion of most accredited investors, is that trust is a key component for them, when investing in Syndication. if the networking technique is disingenuous, it just comes off as corny-time-share-tactics-manipulative base level conduct that is unappealing, untrustworthy and wastes time.I will say that all your points of essentially "caveat emptor" regarding ones own filter for things anywhere on the internet(including BP)are true, but, the benefit of micro-social media- climates like Bigger Pockets is that you get the benefit of other like minded, maybe even I dare say "smarter than me" individuals, weeding out what is the inevitable dissent into Craiglistification of said micro climate...meaning that eventually if all the post, or some critical mass of the posts, become of the aforementioned disingenuous type, the benefits of the this type of forum become less evident or more cumbersome and timely to get value from, and maybe even have negative return on time-equity.....IMHO
