Yesterday after a day of showings, I stopped in at Cinco day Mayo gathering.  One of my friends whom I haven't seen awhile talked to me about an interesting scenario.

He wanted to know how much it cost to completely demolish an older house and just keep the land. He heard from another source that would cost upwards of $60K.  We talked about different parts of town he was interested in buying an older property with the purpose of demolishing it and keeping the land and building on it at a later time.

Question to the forum.  What is actually involved in the demolition process?  Can anybody speak form experience?  Let's just use an old single story 3 bed 2 bathroom, 1200 sq. ft. pier and beam house as an example.
