In Georgia my average materials cost on a new roof is $2,850.

But IMO, if you have to jump up double digits without a material change to the unit, you've screwed it up in the years prior.Staying on top of fair market rents is not easy for small landlords.

I see this with the crowd funders that grew too quick ( realty shares comes to mind)  and did not have enough support staff to communicate with their investors and that leads to internet chatter most of it not good and it can spiral out of control..

This is the internet and you can't have a copyright on every little thing.

Only thing I'm not sure of is the old countertop material, but it does look look in the photo. 

Not necessarily land, as it is very costly to build there as all materials except for some concrete products have to be shipped in.

Thats a huge accomplishment, it not like anyone with $150 and an internet connection can do that. 

Most property owners that get into the start of foreclosure sell before it becomes REO...the internet makes it much easier for owners to sell instead of take the foreclosure route.

He networked with investors and offered to pick up and deliver materials, then he cleaned and secured the worksites every night.

The local hardware stores and big box stores sell materials, they hire local workers.
