They're inexpensive like a rubber roof, but the seams get welded so it's very durable like a PVC membrane.

My GC primed and painted over them a few times thinking they were just old, stubborn stains that needed extra product, but they kept coming back after each rainfall.I hired a water intrusion detection company to help me pinpoint the problem - they said the new roof seemed solid and that based on infrared and temperature readings, the moisture is coming in from the partition walls.

Would you rather be home based in the Bay Area with tons of things to do nearby, good weather, lots of nature, etc. or someplace with little culture, extreme temperatures, bland immediate environment, etc., etc.

Those systems need flexibility as they expand and contract with temperature changes, and you will have problems with the field seams if there is something that restricts movement - like base cabinets on top of them. 

Stick to 2700 K or 3000 K color temperature and you should be fine.It's been my experience that return on investment in water efficiency typically exceeds initial ROI on a good piece of real estate. 

The upside to FL is that the temperature allows year round sports / outdoor activities, etc.

I am able to see major issues, but I don't take temperature of the cool air coming off the vent, I don't flush every toilet or turn on every faucet, nor do I actually run the dishwasher, or dryer etc...my inspection is visual.

Certain crafts like sanding floors and welding, if you don't get it right at first it's a huge PITA!

Just checking the current temperature out there to see what lists everyone is having success with in the current market.

Temperature control:  It's always naturally cooler downstairs, and in the heights of summer and winter, I just cannot get the temperature regulated for both me and my tenant to where we're both comfortable.
