5 years is a bit of roof life left.I would suggest getting a roof estimate and talking to the roofer about the condition and options for when it is time to replace.It may be in good shape or may need sealing around nails that have worked their way out of the wood some.The roofer may give you some guidance for what to look for to guage when it is time to replace or do annual maintenance until it is time for that.

Hit the nail on the head, I didn't treat this as a business transaction, I shouldn't have allowed the leniency.

@Nathan Gesner nailed it: https://www.hud.gov/program_of...

All the wood,nails, hangars, and TyVek.

The biggest expense I tend to overlook when plannig a rehab is the hardware (nails, screws and bolts can get up there quick) and other necessry items like caulking and construction adhesive.

If you have hardwood instead of concrete, then I would sand and polish the hardwood.

Just make sure the selling agent that brings you a contract has the knowledge to pull everything together for you, and you should be good.Next time get those rehab estimates nailed down and you will be golden.

Well these guys got nailed because they agreed with the city not to rent it out on a short term rental but did it anyways.

Price is going to vary per job Mike, you really cant nail down a per hour rate for a contractor theres usually too much involved, maybe one of those handy man services will but you get what you pay for IMO when you go that route.

Keith Barton Obviously you have read a number of DT's as I have and realize that the "note being due" or "triggering the due on sale" is nothing to really be concerned with unless this regime puts the final nail in the coffin...or until Jimmy Carter is re-elected!
