White metal roof, white vinyl siding, white vinyl windows, bleh!

So, yes, it could definitely work on paper and even in execution, but it would require quite a bit of setup as it's something that would definitely need to be scaled if one was going to conquer more than just their local market - and that requires lots of people & lots of money.Personally, I prefer the tried & true model of metal sheds on concrete slabs so folks can store their treasures and running all of that with zero to minimal employees - the simple approach.So I guess in summary, the romantic part of me wants to change the world, but the practical part of me just wants to change "my" world. 

The old appliances & scrap metal should be going to recycling on Wed.

I invested in precious metals and made 8% in 6 1/2 months.

Instead of real estate prices climbing upwards due to the easing (like they did last time), we will be seeing food and energy prices increasing this go around, not real estate and stocks.Don’t get me wrong, I love listening to Peter, I’m buying metals right now along with real estate because I think they will increase dramatically again like they did in the last disaster.

@Justin MilesIf there the old metal windows I replace them.  

Should I go with a shingle roof or metal roof?

He already did a number of improvements including a new metal roof so there is no major work to be done.

@John Smithe - This is going to come down to the following:1) Your personal investment philosophy: your goals, your interests, your time horizon, your risk tolerance, and your interpretation of world events 2) Your unfair advantage: your skills, your expertise, your network, your resourcesBiggerPockets tends to bring together like minds and similar experience, so this sampling bias might result in concluding that a large multifamily in the Midwest, for example, is the best use of your funds.Ask the broad universe of investors the same question, however, and your answers will be quite different.Real estate might well be your best investment, but so might be starting a business, or picking stocks, or buying precious metals.  

Between this and the metal scrappers, I'm hoping to do this without a dumptser or junk removal.
