Stairs are the only way to get in, no grab rails in the bathroom, ramps that are too steep, etc.From what I've read, all commercial businesses/buildings (including ones before the ADA was passed) have to comply with the rules, unless it would be outrageously tough to fix (like installing an elevator in an already built building).Are all these local business just not complying and taking the risk, or am I missing something? 

A couple of Roof claims due to storm damage in Tucson, and we had several sub-to deals in Oklahoma when grapefruit size hail decimated a big section of the whole town. 

I'm the VP of a roofing company in South Florida and work with a few good PM companies on a regular basis, a lot of bad ones too.There are good and bad PMs in each of those companies. 

I manage hundreds of rentals and most of them are caulked every 5 - 10 years.DR Horton was the builder, and after we did two inspections and closed on the house, we found out that a good chunk of the roof was missing - they quickly finished the roofing. 

All situations are specific to individuals.Our best wishes and empathy go out to those LA individuals and communities.It’s been about 6 years since one of our storage locations was flooded for about 4 months.  2 feet over the roof.  

Yes their rates are steep, but that's hard $$$ for you.

Hey Denny - For rehab costs, a good place to start is breaking things down room by room and getting rough estimates for common repairs like the roof, HVAC, kitchen, light cosmetics, etc.

If your children decide to sell it (you can't predict the future), they will likely face steep capital gains tax. 

The first house that I bought was 17 years old, 3 br, 1.5 bath, brick ranch house with hardwood floors, Andersen windows, ceramic tile baths, gas heat and a brand new roof. 

The road is too steep and isn't paved all the way.
