Roof size approx 2700sq feet- gaf woodland lifetime designer shingles (gives the slate look similar to what's on the house) - If I choose plain architectural shingles, I'll save 2k- TPO PVC flat roof over 10x30 extension- soffit & fascia repair and replace where necessary (some of the soffit wood has gotten rotten and would need to be replaced)- chose copper valley instead of aluminum (said I'll save $500 if going with aluminium)- plywood mostly in very good condition because of great original quality of the wood (said I'll probably only need 3 sheets replaced)- replace downspouts where necessary, maybe he'll replace 1-2- install cobra ridge vent

Wondering what the going rate is for Property Management (PM) lease renewal fees (same tenant, just renewing lease for another 12 months) I’m in Philadelphia and have seen anywhere from $0 renewal fee to a flat $200 per renewal to the entire first month’s rent again!

Hello, I am currently deciding whether to add a bathroom to a Victorian flat we will be putting on the market for rent.

Like arguing with people who insist that the world is flat.  

I'm looking at getting a multifamily for the same reasons you listed, but interested if you've had/heard of issues with buying a unit in a 2 flat.

Couple that with the money you spent to get to that point maybe it's less than you expected at the end.Now you could do a 1031, reduce some of those costs and taxes but again that assumes you can find something as the replacement.Or maybe you find something that cash flows and goes up 5% yr or stays flat....

I am in Chicago and have a brick three flat with a dirt basement.

The architectural design to meet sound insulation requirements as the following:   - 50 STC (Sound Transmission Class)   - 50 IIC (Impact Isolation Class) The apartment complex to have flat roof area of 500 -700sq. ft. that is ready for photovoltaic panel installation.

More if you BRRRR.But if you have the budget for a West loop condo, why not just buy a 2-3 flat with 5% down?  

BP community, especially the unlicensed ones, were you aware we have such greedy agents such as this that will either charge you more if they aren’t getting 3%, or they will just flat out ignore a potential property for you if their commission isn’t enough?
