You don't know the condition of the foundation, roof, termite damage (if it is a thing out there).

We also used some contractors that I may not use again, as there is some leaking that we've had to deal with.

Building: 3 flat with an enclosed Chicago porch where the flat (sloped) roof extends over it.

How often are you all replacing roofs in KC?

Have the roof checked out.

I plan to fix foundation, do roof replacements on both structures, do bathroom remodels across 2 bathrooms, new flooring, electrical repairs, add fence & gate, more landscaping. 3. 3plex is held in a LLC of mine. 4.

It’s a large two story, we are currently replacing the roof.

It takes a considerable amount of skilled and reliable labor to complete 25 homes, so we suggest subcontracting all the trades and retaining a small in-house crew of experts in individual trades such as framing, masonry, roofing, etc.

He says it can't be a leaking duct in basement  because then we'd get no heat on main level. 

So if the property gets tied up and the owners still have a roof over their head for 3-6 years, they should have those savings of living payment free for that time.
