Hey @Ryan Leake Thank you for this awesome post.

It goes from Roofing, HVAC, Electrical to just establishing rehab cost for ARV accuracy on a timely matter.If you have any specific question just contact me with a direct message.I will be glad to help.Thanks in advance

Put in about $25k of improvements, to include 2 unit rehabs, new roof (mostly covered by insurance) new paint, and eliminated one unit.

Most times the water usage drop is significant and the residents are much more likely to notify you when they have a leaking toilet etc.We've also found that the expenses for the material and install is often recovered within two years or less.Sometimes we need to reduce the rent by $20-30 less than what we would otherwise be able to rent it for, but in some cases, it doesn’t affect the rent at all.

If shingles are broken or missing, leaking, rotting, etc, that's a defect.

I have a leak coming from under the tub which would require removing and replacing the tub and tile due to the damage it is causing in the downstairs apartment.

Take the cost of the home long term add the mortgage, taxes and true repair costs such as upkeep and new roofs , heating and cooling mechanicals etc over the years.

the necessary repairs are as follows:  water heater missing, furnace looks old. paint all rooms, new flooring needed in most rooms, ( something i can do myself), recondition kitchen, replace entry doors. the house already has a newer roof and newer vinyl siding, virtually no work necessary on the outside. given my rehab skills, nothing will need to be contracted out, so i am able to save a tremendous amount of money on the rehab, which is why the following rehab number is so low.

I would be most concerned about the big ticket repairs (roof, hvac, siding, ect).  

Schooling in my town is amazing, so there is no issue with that.Transportation to NYC is literally 2 minutes on every corner to the bus, so that isn't an issue.Additionally, I was told that I should stay away from homes with oil tanks for heating because if the oil tank was to leak, the soil would be contaminated and it would cause a big headache and a big whole in my wallet.
