“How I buy historic homes off the city’s demolition list and turn them into gems: 1. Find the Demo List – Call your local code enforcement or planning department. 2. Do a Walkthrough – Get permission to tour the property and assess condition. 3. Make Your Pitch – Offer to save the home and present your renovation plan. 4. Negotiate Terms – Many cities will sell for $1 or forgive liens if you restore it. 5. Pull Permits & Get to Work – You usually have a deadline to finish. These houses are at risk — but with a vision and a plan, you can save history and build equity at the same time. @benkoman
