Metal Roofs for a long term flip and hold

[Matthew A Rodriguez]

So with all this talk about cap ex I was wondering what you thought about using wear resistant materials in rehabs. my business model is to by extremely distressed and do full rehabs. I will list some and rent the others. Thoughts on using metal roofs, stained concrete floors, quartz counter tops etc. I want to alleviate big ticket repairs 20 years down the line.

Metal roofs are way too expensive - I'd say ROI is not there. Just put a regular old roof on, and replace it every 15-30 years depending on how it holds up. Countertops, and other interior items could have a payoff if the area demands higher rents for premium features. Just gotta run the numbers.
