What i'm wondering is if it makes sense to try to negotiate the cost of DEMO against the value of the property - my plan is to sink a few thousand bucks and a few weeks of work into the house and live in it while working on the site plan and building out the second house for my parents.

I'm not looking to do a 3rd lien as a cash out, I'm just looking to get more out of the LOC since the equity has increased by so much. the real crummy part about it, is that if I go with another company for the LOC and they have to have permission to re-subordinate, that would tip off the mortgage company that holds my first that it's not my primary anymore, and they could possibly want me to refinance into a different product...which I could do...but I wouldn't necessarily want to do haha
