I am young and he is of the retirement age, which is why it would work when we bought it.

So it really depends on the property location, age etc.

@Andrew Stouse Started out close to 30 years ago at age 21 with some shady business partners on two owner financed apartment buildings.

Our company is very much involved with the MD investor market from Baltimore to DC suburbs to the Eastern Shore, so anybody looking to talk contracts/terms, networking, JVing with other investors, and now it sounds like more attempted anti-investor legislation... feel free to connect.

Flat roofs, old roof age, old electrical, cast iron plumbing and non impact openings will mean much higher premiums. 

Is there an option or something I can do to help load pages faster, cause waiting 15 to 30 seconds per load is just crazy in this day and age.  

Your Network = Your Net-worth"Been watching Evernest's video's and they share a ton on "everything and anything" property management related so that's been a blessing.Biggest take away when it comes to scaling a PM is to spread the word about what you're looking at doing and to build relationships.Local real estate events, NARPM, IMN, etc...You want everyone to think of you if they are looking at selling or if they know of anyone looking at selling.I use to be "loud and proud" and a huge extrovert but I guess "old age" has got me hahaI prefer drinking coffee and smoking a cigar behind closed doors.But, I guess I'll have to start "shaking hands" and "kissing babies" like a president when it comes to networking again lolMaybe even do a few video's while not wearing any pants heheBig hat's down to Matthew Whitaker for scaling the business so much.I remember spending some time together in Birmingham when he had a decent sized operation of around 1,200 units or so.Now they are 16,000+ 👏HUGE...We initially met as I was interested in selling our property management company in Toledo and now we are looking at acquiring others heheTime flies, things change and life is funny.Thanks everyone for your contribution and wishing you much success

many investors are avoiding the actual city of Kansas City and instead investing in the surrounding townships and suburbs (which will not have to adhere to these new 'anti-discrimination' rules)Our area is projected to continue to grow and appreciate fairly quickly so we are afraid of getting priced out of buying our little farm if we wait too long.

Given the roof is likely a 25+ year life, and you are likely on a 5 yr term, you should not be paying for all 25yrs of that roof.I would also want to know age of RTU, and have limits on your costs.  

Rob,Welcome to investing and at your age you will have much time to do well.
