That roof job was not cheap.It's up to you if you want to gamble a low ball offer w/o knowing what kinds of sins are underneath that roof and tile.Can you get work done reasonably or will you get held up by high priced contractors?

I am not saying people do not make money in stocks I just see those more of a gamble.

I play sports most of the day Choice of 45 golf courses-most free for life, 140 pickleball courts, 2000 clubs to be part of, listen to music at 3 different venues each evening and have almost all properties under great management with a personal assistant overseeing them.
