What is the going rice for new roof for 1500 sq feet house in Montgomery? 

The key is to save a decent amount for that rainy day.If you're buying a newer house with upgrades on the major systems -- roof, furnace, water heater, sewer, and appliances?

My sister had my parents' house passed down to her in a quick claim deed, which is also fully paid off Zestimate ~$420K, but she does have some "good debt", roof/windows for house $50K and car payments for her car and my mother's $25K= total debt $75K.

Here are the criteria that would determine it is a "log cabin style" v a true log cabin:- Foundation Walls = Concrete Block- Roof Surface = Metal or Shingles- Heating = FWA- Interior Walls = Drywall or Plaster

However, in my market, realtors often ask for an offer before providing basic information like the age of the CAPEX items, including the roof. 

Quote from @Jennifer Roof: That's a noble thing to do.

In April they had a roof leak problem, I got it all fixed by the end of May (nearly 2 months).

Good morning, the following property is up for sale at $250k.  114 S Broadway St, Toledo, IA 52342 | ZillowThe seller has 'described' it as follows:"The property features a new roof and updated electrical work completed two years ago at a cost of $120,000.

Next I would definitely walk the property extremely thoroughly, look for foundation problems, roof, hvac, appliances, every sqft of the property should be inspected. 

However, if a carport is an enclosed structure that looks like a building - meaning it has a roof with solid walls and a door, it will be considered real property (27.5/39 year).
