Hey everyone,I'm in search of an reputable licensed roofer for a new roof shingles in the Hinesville / Savannah area.

Rents are currently $650, $650, and $350 (small third floor unit), The roof needs repaired or replaced (flat shingles) and it likely needs other cosmetic repairs.Seller started at $65,000 but said he'd be willing to sell it for less if I didn't give him a lot of hassle.

It could use some paint and shingle repair.

The roof is shingles and only has some small leaks.

Any advice or suggestions from past experiences on ways to package to two properties together would be most appreciated.Property 1 - 1890's SFR on small lot near CampusPurchase Price/Down Payment: 130,000 / 5,000Annual rent: $14,400Vacancy: 720Taxes: 1,662Insurance: 800Property Mgmt: 1,094Repairs/Maint: 1,000Cap Ex: 1,200 (will need shingles and water heater w/in 5 years)Misc.: 750NOI: 7174 - Debt Service: 6250= $924/year cash flow= 77/month Initial CoC return: 924/5000=.1848Property 2Purchase Price/Down Payment: 165,000 / 8,000Annual rent: 28,800Vacancy: 1,440Taxes: 2,868Insurance: 1,000Property Mgmt: 2,189Repairs/Maint: 1,200Cap Ex: 800 Misc.: 1,000NOI: 17,603 - Debt Service: 7,850= 9,753/year, cash flow= 813/monthInitial CoC return: 9753/8000=1.219

I also bought them with plumbing and electrical already up to code.One thing to look out for is that flat rubber rooves are much more expensive to repair or replace than pitched rooves that can take shingles.

The fix is outside shingles missing, and the front door "rotting" and paint peeling (it seemed fine to me honestly), but if they're claiming those two things preclude insurance, then most of this area is not insured...

Most everything has been brought up to date on it minus the shingles.
