@Jess WhiteI like using the Roof App.

It would depend on the individual property too if it's something that has all older mechanicals and roof, you would probably want to factor that in.

MF2 is still the only house on the market as most lenders won't let you finance a foreclosed MF1.What does buyer 1 do to have a roof of his/her head?

I mean incompetent, didn't check ages of utilities, didn't go in attics, crawl spaces, test any electrical/plumbing, didn't go on or look at roof...

We backed out of one after the inspection found several problems including 2 bad HVAC units, roofing concerns, a tenant who had torn up his unit, and dry rot on soffets.   

It had been fixed twice and the last time the roofer told me that a new roof was needed because the roof in that area has too many holes already.

Needs a roof.

In the near west and north areas of the metro area I am finding very few professionals in the siding and roofing trades that will service investors.

ETRADE wire fees were much better ($0 incoming, $25 outgoing) compared to Wells Fargo ($15 incoming, $30 outgoing) and went out same day instead of 2 days later.Last Friday, I talked to my contractor and there was an issue with the roof.

(aside from maybe the roof).
