@AvivaRealEstate I’m in SC so can’t speak to how other States handle this. I think SC does a nice job. I have a few ongoing projects under this scenario. Make sure you, (the buyer), are a non responsible party. Enter into a VCC (Voluntary Cleanup Contract) and remediate per the terms.

@seandsweeney This!!

@ChrisTrainorSC I waited because I was just curious to see how long the line would be today after hearing so many friends say they were voting early. No line where I voted.

@Cribdilla Think about your put back as well. I would drill and set alternating rebar in the existing slab sides.

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@skylarromines I’m definitely a 1. Just wired for it I guess

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@AllyTaft We are an open venue meaning you are able to select whatever bartending service you like or if you want to pour your own, etc. Same with how you select your caterer or any of the other multitude of vendors more specific to the wedding industry.

@CarolWalshReal1 I’m interested. Sounds like fun. My lane is historic and/or abandoned buildings.

@moseskagan The insurance thing just happened to me. Finally bound property coverage an hour before closing, but would have closed in any case. Never have seen getting coverage on older properties the way it is right now. 3x what it was last year on this one building.

@skylarromines @ShannonJean I saved a shower’s worth of that exact tile recently. Shelving it in case I need to restore another one later!

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@sbamflumberguy Probably not at this time

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@shawngorham I feel ya

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@AllyTaft Yes, I see that error as well 😂

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@AllyTaft Haha! I feel I do. A little different now business now, but the attention to detail remains the same. My greatest strength…and my Achilles heel

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@mjznyc @JohnJBlatchford Not sure I understand your question?

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@JohnJBlatchford @mjznyc Thanks. As you know, it takes a passion for buildings that are abandoned and in many cases, only neglected due to the owner’s inability to make the repairs, etc. Then the conditions get worse and eventually the building hits a tipping point. That’s my zone. Columbia, SC

[Richard Burts @RichardBurts]

@mjznyc @JohnJBlatchford Haha, kept everything! Maybe excessively. Pretty interesting documentary on SCETV about the history and the restoration. It’s also where I first heard the phrase “that’s gonna cost ya” from my contractor.

@aussieflya @JohnJBlatchford I’ll dig some up and post. Luckily, this project was completed in late 2008 just before the music stopped.
