Doing few roof for single family homes in Houston.

Our biggest climate risks in central Texas are typically wind and hail, so anything of concern regarding the roof could get an applicant declined including trees too close to the roof surface, roof over 10 years old, etc.

In markets like Raleigh, some agents now work on retainer or flat fees instead of commission splits.Why Commit?

In my area you have to strip the roof shingles at a minimum . 

What i did not have to do while owning them though was roof plumbing elec appliances stuff like that.. those lasted a good long while..

I hope you or someone is at least keeping an eye on your properties for break ins, squatters, roof leaks, temperature control, frozen pipes (if in cold climate), if you have a basement and sump pump goes out leading to water damage etc.I just talked to two investors in California that have let their properties sit vacant (no mortgages so paying property taxes and insurance).

Pro tip--make sure your exhaust fan in the bathroom is vented to the atmosphere--meaning out to the outside.....go out the roof or out the side of the unit or secured to an opening in a soffit vent grille off the house. 

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.

Large basement and attic space, new roof and some of the kitchen is already torn out from the current owner. one bedroom does have a closet that will need built. plumbing seems fine, maybe a couple angle stops to change.

For example, we replace marginal roofs, rip out all the old galvanized plumbing because it saves me a lot over the long run.
