I must admit,  having tax, cpa and LLC formation under one roof is attractive to me for ease of transactions.

Other things that concern me about townhomes, in general, are things like who owns the common roofs.  

If you are converting a "non-restaurant" that can be $500k-$1mm build out. c) CAMs: since it is mixed use, who pays what for roof repairs, concrete work, etc.  

Fairly cosmetic rehab incl roof replacement and mechanicals, $40K budget, done in about a month and a half, and now am moving towards placing into property management and flipping out of my rehab loan. 

Will people pay their last dollar to keep a roof over their head or will they pay to keep their virtual donut shop?

For example, I think it would be nice to have a 20 year spreadsheet for LTR showing 2 roof purchases at the 10 and 20 year mark (assuming 10 year roof) and then each system listed with its expected respective replacement year to get a picture of potential capex spikes,This may lend to moving replacements expeditures around to balance the outlay of capex dollars over the life of the property.Thoughts?

Mario,Discuss with the agents the specifics on the property (ie age of roofs and systems, claim info, pets, pool, etc.) before making any changes. 

We launched some paid advertising, however the results were bad.About 6 weeks ago I started doing deeper research on his particular business model and I began putting the pieces together to help generate some leads and get him and my sister back to making money again.Fast forward to just over a week ago since I completed his setup, and so far he’s had 5 appointments to view job sites so he may submit bids, and he’s locked up 2 contracts worth $15,500 and $31,500 totaling $46,000 in new business.This case study serves to support any REI professionals seeking inbound leads including…

Contractors of all types (Roof, Foundation, Electrician, Plumbing, Painting, Etc...)


-A higher pitch roof has a higher cost and should be considered if your duplex will be infill into an area where there are other homes with the roof pitch, but failing that we have not found that it has a real impact on appraisal (we are in an area of lower pitched homes however so take this with a grain of salt depending on your market) and a lower pitch roof means lower maintenance and capex costs.

New roof, new gutters, new water heater, trimmed back trees that destroyed roof What was the outcome?
