look at the plywood above the stain and poke the wood. if it's soft/moist, there is a leak in the shingles.

.* Go ahead and get your agent's license and prepare to hang your shingle with an investor-friendly transaction fee-based agency.

I do not like the asbestos shingles or siding, but if the deal is good enough....Inside, most families look at 3/2 as a minimum, perhaps a house has a 3/1 with ability to add a 2nd bath.

Unfortunately, we're in a different world/economy now and a shingle on the wall may or may not lead to employment.

I have had no luck doing so and I think it is because of the 3 layers of shingles on the roof and the 60 year old furnace.

I am not interested in the FHA 201k, as this place will not pass an FHA inspection, and I am not interested in them telling me I have to remove questionable paint, add stair railings, replace shaker siding shingles, blah blah blah.

If you are doing multiple properties you can carry materials from one site to another (shingles for example).

That room is now missing one shingle, and I'd just as soon re-roof it now before it leaks and I have to do interior repair on it, as I have to do on my home-to the tune of at least $685.

Example: dimensional shingles reg. $40 a bundle, 12 bucks. if you are buying in bulk builddirect is a good site too.

Maybe you just need to put your "shingle" out, at that will be enough.
