Multi-family Roofing Material

[Daniel Fisher]

I am about to buy my first multi family and the roof needs to be redone. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to just go with a tin roof. A lot of the other duplexes and triplexes in the area have shingles and a lot of them have metal roofs so as far as getting renters neither one will really deter anyone. I prefer buy and hold so I do not plan to get rid of the property. I thought a metal roof might be a good idea because some of them can last up to 70 years but they are more expensive to have put on. I was thinking in the long run it might be a better investment.

What do y'all suggest?

Thanks,
