The home is in decent shape but the roof is from 2002 and will need to be replaced at some point.

Roof, foundation, siding and windows.

Age of the home, neighborhood, price range, no. of bedroom/bathroom, type of roof, any other features/specs?

If you control your water drainage from roof and reduce risk of tuckpointing the upkeep will be less so should be more cost effective

Plus it’s fun racking up profitable properties and helping people in the process.Yes, it takes some training, which has a cost and a little bit of time to learn, but it’s a life changer.

I paid $500 for the home inspection which found problems with the roof, foundation, HVAC, and plumbing.

List of things to fix:Clean house, Carpet replacement, Floor patch up, Interior Painting, Bathtub recaulk, water heater replacement, leak check, small dry wall cut and restore, Roof fascia repairThank you.

I’m thinking of using some of the refinance money to start the garage conversion by doing the portion where the roof needs to be raised which is the hardest, most expensive part.

The sellers are arguing that they have paid the bills and recently replaced the roof and are not abandoning them.

At one condo I owned they kept the monthly fees low but during my ownership had a "special assessment" for new roofs and later had a "special assessment" for paving the parking lots.
