On another occasion I had them inspect the property after purchase and they informed me that due to the condition of the roof they were raising my deductible on any roof damage to $5K instead of the $2.5K for the rest of the property until I installed a new roof.   

If you start one, you are no longer a landlord but also have to work on all aspects of running a business! 

They are willing to sell, but it would need to be at a good price because it needs things that my side already had done (roof update, windows). 

Roofs may not get full replacement cost if they are older than 10 years. 

If you'd like some help with the investment property aspect of this I'd be happy to take a look.

more info: At this point I'm satisfied with all other aspects of the application and credit/background check came back clean and excellent. 

I'm okay going even for a few months if there is upside, but with an old asset, things will continue to break down.We bought a 71 asset three years ago, and did a complete rehab, units, parking lot, roofs, etc.

Lots of pressure washing, trimming trees off the roof, lower branches to help with mowing.

Build a small 10x10 tin roof shed.  

I used to use Podio and still have an account--but it failed on the automation aspects.
