A roof on the 600K property will cost more than on the 300K property, but you have more roofs to repair on the multiple 300K properties.

Their different backgrounds will lead to 80-90% of the same stuf being pointed out, but the 10-20% differences can be eye-opening and lead to more accurate bids.Suggest you visit a Home Depot on a Saturday, between 6-8am.

You are "borrowing" the money and using your current home as collateral.

Do you remove the roof from your houses because roofs do not prevent flooding?
