Thanks everyone!

Patrick, thanks for the link. The Sienna style are the look we are trying to achieve. Ill have to reach out to our vendors about these.

Aaron - thanks for the rec, but we're looking for something a little more "upscale" We're planning on selling the house for $500-600sf so want something that will really stand out. 

Hi Everyone,

We are currently in the process of doing a gut rehab on an old victorian style home in Mass. As part of the rehab, we will be reframing the roof into a Mansard style in order to capitalize on a currently unfinished walk up attic space. 

My current dilemma is how to finish the sides of the mansard roof. I love the look of slate, but it is way too costly for this project. I think normal asphalt roofing shingles looks cheap. 

Can anyone recommend a good alternative to slate that wont look cheap?

Check out the current and proposed elevations below: 

Thanks for the response Mike and Rob. 

We actually served the tenant a 14 day notice to quit due to unpaid rent, but they cured it on time. Sounds like we need to send them a 7 day notice to quit since they are subletting and its specifically prohibited in the lease. Lease is up Aug. 1 so they are not TAW. 

@Mike Hurney can you pm attorney name and contact info. 

Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

We are dealing with an issue in one of our rentals where the tenant moved out and illegally subletted the unit to a subtenant who has been nothing but problems. We recently discovered that the unit was being subletted and now need to get the subtenant out.

Can anyone recommend a good attorney in the Greater Boston area that handles stuff like this?

Thanks,

Garrett 

Hey Adrian,

Welcome to BP. As Peter mentioned above me, go out and find a great deal. Finding the deal is always the HARDEST part of the equation. You will find that once you have a great deal, finding the money is easy. Any investor will want to invest in a $4-500K property that you have under contract for $200k that needs $75k-$100k worth of construction. The next hardest part is the construction, but it seems like you have that covered pretty well. 

Good luck!
