The house was vacant for 5 years with a new roof (5 years ago). 

Renovated the basement unit, new roof, new soffit/ facia, new gutters, new exterior paint that was paid for by seller.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

The cost is the same for a roof on a house that rents for $800 per month is the same as on that rents for $1800. 

I have had sellers agreed to owner financing as well as sellers to take steep discounts, as well as sign a purchase and sales agreement with me on the spot. 

some roofs, tree damage and trash strewn around. 

Roof, floors, bathrooms and vanities, paint, appliances. same market rent as above.I'm open to Atlanta opportunities.I would qualify both as BRRRRs. 

Roofs, parking, plumbing, hvac, signage, structural, Reno, etc4.  

Where I see my clients do really well for their clients is the HVAC is brand new electrical panel new  Roof brand new etc etc.. kind of like those that buy new construction for rentals those folks are paying full retail for those..

The deferral is all on major capital expenditures, roofs, HVAC, Water heaters.
