Been sitting on the market for a while.So the house has been sitting on the market for 75 days in a hot market, no one is in a rush to get paid, foundation issues, roof imploding, smells like cat urine (the smellier the better), so beat up that all the local flippers are scared of it and/or make insultingly lowball offers that the seller has just been round-binning, but hey it's got a great location.

What about when the roof leaks in a big storm?

Over here, you keep the same roof for decades.

The roof was apparently three months old, but looked very poorly constructed.  

My broker informed me that the roof will likely need replaced.

Structure that is not protected from damage (like a roof), will also have an average life expectancy.Survey what you have and replace all the systems due to fail in the next 5 years.  

The house should have been condemned because of holes in the roof and floors (in several areas).

Hi,We bought a triplex in March with 25% down payment. since then we've added a brand new roof, redid first floor bathroom.

The roof is 9 years old, windows are all new, and the small cosmetic fixes I was referring to was mainly just painting and refinishing the floors in 1 unit.  

It does need some aesthetic changes but the roof is new, windows are aluminum wrapped, small yard.Listed price: $139kAsking price: $95k ???
