Had an uncle who had a leased parking lot, if you're close to a special events venue it's a license to steal, 20/25 bucks (evening 2-4 hours) for about 160 sq ft of pavement @ 100 spaces.

I've got a single family rental house up there that has a worse roof than I thought and I need to get the asphalt shingle roof redone ASAP.Thanks in advance for any referrals.

I'm always amazed that there is an almost endless supply of RV/boat owners willing to pay $50 for uncovered parking (basically a patch of gravel, not even pavement) or $125-$150 per month for a roof and one wall.A friend of mine was looking for a storage unit recently and only opening was 25+ miles away from his hometown. 

I will hit the pavement and stop into a few banks over the next few days.My question is, why are the loan rates not advertised on banks websites for businesses (or investments) as they are for personal (owner occupied) loan rates?

My dad had to do that for an asphalt plant they were putting up for his company and the harvester only allowed to take 2 loads a day to the mill because of the abundance of pulp wood and the lack of value, so for him he got it cleared for free and the guy took the wood off his hands no money to either party.

.#3 Contact Local Contractors for Labor Pricing / Hire a GC to ConsultCall local Subcontractors and get budget pricing for common repairs on your typical rehab project.For example, call a roofer and ask what their average cost per Square of Architectural Asphalt Shingle Roofing would be on a 1,500 sf house, with a 6/12 pitch.Note: Some contractors will be reluctant to share pricing without seeing the property, but tell them you are just looking for a rough budget number you can use on future projects.You can also pay a General Contractor a consulting fee of a couple of hundred dollars (per house) to walkthrough a few properties with you and provide a detailed estimate of prices that you can use as your 'menu for future projects.#4 Compile Your Prices into a Spreadsheet or Estimating SoftwareOnce you start to get a better understanding of Labor and Material costs you will want to store this data into a spreadsheet or software that you can use to help you streamline the estimating process.The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs comes with a spreadsheet that you can use to help you populate your own database of labor pricing and material pricing.

Im trying to take into consideration asphalt vs stone parking lots as well, but im not sure.

Good old fashioned pounding the pavement.

I'm a complete Newbie not to computer savvy I'm hitting the pavement in July my question is once the ball gets rolling here what would be the not so savvy guys best route for software. 

In addition to your notes, a few other items they like to see is pavement throughout the entire park, and usually if the park will need to be at least 50 spaces.
