For example, if you are buying in an area that is in are 1980s and above, you might run into a roof that is tile and the paper under the tile needs to be replaced the day you close.

There are still a ton of roofs with blue tarps needing repair/replacement and some debris sitting curbside.  

It will not replace humans in any shape or form, opendoor tried it, listing spark tried it, they are the two worst companies to deal with. 

This will lead to many of the professionals in the same industries who already are not doing that well to fall out of competition and hence be "replaced'.

Do you know if a roof that was replaced due to an insurance payout can be added to the basis?

I mean you technically require a permit to replace an outlet or sink faucet hahaha

I have yet to complete a walk-through of the property and see what renovations may be needed (potential for HVAC and interior, but from my understanding the roof and windows were replaced within the last 7-8 years).

For example:-A tenant complained about the AC not cooling, so I replaced the entire unit with brand-new equipment.

@Sunny WuPerhaps offer them an incentive to also help in finding a replacement tenant.

What gets expensive is replacing a deteriorated side sewer from the house to the street, when they use the cleanouts and find out what's going on down there.
