Considering that few tenants climb up on the roof and tear off the shingles, or take sledgehammers to the units, you would still be looking at a reasonable profit over time if all of your catastrophe came true. 

Shingles seem heavier carrying them up the ladder to the roof. 

I needed a roof on my largest property , 3 buildings , 57 square of shingles 12 pieces of plywood .  

My shingles were installed that afternoon. 

Roof costs say $8000 (depending on size, shape, type of shingles, etc.) and last 25 years (depending on weather, type of shingles, slope, etc.) ... that's $27/mo you need to put away in CapEx to eventually replace the roof ... now do that for all the systems in the property, add them all up, add some reasonable amount of margin, and you have a reasonable grass roots estimate of what your CapEx should be ... code it into excel with the approriate parameters such as square footage, number of water heaters, etc. and you can knock out a CapEx estimate for a specific property in a matter of minutes, without messing around with bogus rules of thumb like 50% rule or 10% of gross rent, or any other such thing that tries to relate things that are completely unrelated in order to shortcut around actual thought and analysis.Any calculator that you do not understand all of the inputs, outputs and assumptions that went into them are less than useless, and BPs are no exception ... therefore the best ones will be the ones you build yourself from the ground up and modify over time as you gain experience and find that some of your assumptions, inputs, and formulas need tweaking.

What would you guys suggest for a paint color with brown soffit/facia and light brown shingles?

We replaced our side of the shared-townhome roof with 20-year shingles, and we installed a new 6 foot cedar privacy fence.

We get a discount off retail on shingles from Home Depot; we pay $17.25, retail is $23.25.

Under no circumstances let them mount to the roof - they drill straight through the shingles and (if you're lucky) put a dab of silicone caulk on there to try to stop the water intrusion.
