Understood. My question is: is it normal for a brand new roof to be installed in a way where there are 4 nails that need to be sealed with sealant on top of the shingles? To me, it seems like all nail heads should be underneath the other shingles that overlap.

As a local roofing contractor myself, I will say that it is normal for installers to seal the nails that way. I always glue that last shingle down and do not use any nails but it is allowed to be installed that way and pass inspection. Most contractors do not use clear sealant but instead black tar.

Howdy!

I’m new to Bigger Pockets and looking for my first real estate rental! I’m hoping to pick up my first multi family ASAP. I’ve already purchased a few books and hope to gain some knowledge here on the forum as well.

Some background: I’m a FL State Licensed Roofing Contractor. I sold my first roofing company down in South Florida back in 2020 and used the funds to relocate my family and live a debt free lifestyle. I had a rental down south which I sold to eliminate my mortgage down there before we sold the company.

Moving to a new area with zero contacts, zero knowledge of the area, and zero income was scary for us. Now that my income is more steady, I’m ready to invest and build my portfolio.

Any contacts or advice in the area is greatly appreciated!
