I'll find a contractor soon but want to get a rough idea of numbers before moving forward.

I will be going to a meetup this Saturday so thanks for the idea of some flyers - I will make some of those up .

That's a good idea to check with a local realtor.  

Any idea what a demo costs? 

Answer to your question: Not knowing the pricing, potential rent, your exit strategy, or true property condition, I don't think anyone here has any idea how to assist you at this point.

I am a active duty Army officer.

Any idea if that is true?

Hello,Hey I thought it would be a good idea to join in the discussion because Abdul King and I have similar goals.

But seriously since your in that arena contact a local small builder to give you a basic idea.

Looking forward to learning new ideas and helping others along the way.
