I even called around to get an asphalt paving on a super long driveway, 6-8 months ago I had quotes for 40k, called back same people they were at 33k, and I ended up getting another one to come back out and they quoted me 22k…..a full almost 50 percent drop from last spring.

That seems more complicated, since you have a lot of pavement and infrastructure, including security equipment, but also the buildings themselves.

Someone that pounds the pavement, knows the markets we service and can work within our realistic budget and need expectations.

I have 10 paid off properties  and I’ll pay off 1 in 2 years, another 2 years after that.ill probably leave the last 2 as they are maybe $100k  I have a property manager for all but 2 of my properties  8% of rent is my only PM cost other than $150 renewals and $300 new tenant commissions for realtors  Like I said, I understand if you have 10 or 20 year asphalt roofs ($5-7k every decade or two) but I’ve spent less than $500 total in 280 “property years” on roof repairs.

Don't do asphalt with trucks.If you do rock, put Engineering Fabric under it. 

Asphalt /fiberglass shingle---permit 02/20142.

A typical roof with architectural (asphalt) shingles has a life of approximately 25-30 depending on your locality.

It has older asphalt shingles that I'm hoping will last another 3-5 years before I put stone-coated steel on.

Ever been on a horse with horse shoes on asphalt?

Well, you could always go out and pound the pavement during the hours that everyone else is at work and find work.
