A building that was generating cash flow from signs, like those in Times Square, have a higher value than those that did not because of the extra revenue they generate.

If it were me I would weld a heavy steel tab like a 3" section of square tube to each steel post on an angle then about 6' away dig a 4' deep post hole and put a large timber or steel post in it and use my air over hydrolyic jacks to push the wall back.This would at least get the wall away from the house for a few years until you can come up with another plan and the money to do it.I just jacked a house up 6" that had sunk in one corner using four of these jacks, they lifted the place effortlessly.I'm sure you can find someone to temporarily push the wall back and brace it.

Every square inch of the OC is precious and the sellers are right to think they own prime real estate.What are you bringing to the game?

@Bob BowlingThe average cost of new construction in my Zip code is $130 per square foot.

@Nick Dallaire have you considered "House Hacking" (cred to Brandon Turner) as a means of getting your foot in the door?

How many squares is that roof?

If, however, the place is neon pink or a color that only 1 in 1,000 would even stop the car and get out at, then who cares about the appraisal specifically, you might want to repaint/reside just to increase foot traffic and make the place sellable / rentable.

But I had to put my foot in my mouth several times and have sounded dumb many times... but the more I do it, the better I feel about what I have to offer. 

Rough $$$ per square foot for construction and what the breakdown is between payment to GC and payment to subs.2-3 storiesPretty standard multifamily, not a lot of bells and whistles.Thanks a lotRay

For instance if you need a new roof, we'd have pricing based upon a square price (100 sq ft area of roof) if you needed a new layer, an amount if you're doing a full tear off, replacing plywood sheathing, etc.
