I am looking at homes online on a daily basis, but right now I have zero'd in on a few zip codes that I believe that 1% of rent to purchase price is pretty attainable (but I'd like to approach 1.1% or more if possible).

The inspector said the house needed a new roof 5 years ago when I bought the place…When I walk on the roof there are areas of clear rotting in the sheathing under the shingles, it’s spongy as if there has been moisture intrusion and rotting of the sheathing…The roof is bowing in some areas also, and has a couple of curled shingles.
