How old is roof, mechanicals, FFE? 

There are more duplicity costs with SFH - more roofs, more yards, etc - but I have had and managed both and homes are better in my market. 

Once the interior was stripped and the infrastructure tested, I brought in commercial contractors to handle critical systems like plumbing, electrical, roofing, and HVAC installation.The house, built in the early 1900s, was originally a coal-burning residence.

Ex:  A roof in my area cost 9,000 and will last 25 years.  9,000 / 25 yrs is $360 a year. 

So some things will be easier and more convenient (one roof to repair) but many tasks will simply be a multiple based on the number of doors.

We fixed the foundation and the flat roof issues with pooling water, and rents didn't meet the mortgage just yet.In 2023, we finally started to cash flow.

A standard roof that use to cost $15,000 to replace, is now well over $30,000 to replace in many areas of the country. 

Unfortunately, there was a stop work order in place on the property, which the roofing contractor was told by BTC was resolved.  

When it was released, the reviews were thru the roof. 

Property was sitting on market and needed light updates (roof, flooring, paint) but was in a great area that allows STRs giving me multiple options when deciding on rental strategy How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
