What kind of roof is best for your area?

"Just a little damage" Walks flat, needs roof and cosmetics. 

We are currently looking at a HUD home in Georgia - I have a couple of questions and can’t seem to find a definitive answer - The home is currently in the OO listing period - our plan would be to buy the home doing extensive renovations (the home is in a “Historical” area so renovations have to be approved) once completed we plan on living there full time - it could take ip to a year to complete or longer I don’t know  - as I see it the OO designation is to be the OO for a min of 12 months - is this after the home has been renovated or after you close on the home - though the house could probably technically be lived in now it does have some water and roof damage and needs complete redo of electrical and plumbing - for me to deem it safe - so not really livable by normal standards - but no way it would be livable in just a couple of months - any thoughts or an actual answer to the OO rules 

One of them came down this street and tore off the roof of my neighbor's house right across the street Not sure about the apartments mentioned though...

Section 8 demand in Cleveland is through the roof, but unfortunately they don't actually pay that amount. 

If the drain pan isn't working, that must mean the washing machine is leaking, which should be a tenant issue if the machine belongs to them. 

@Ryan Leake thanks for sharing helpful tips.Steps 4 and 5 for "boosting ratings" is why I've designed an auto-mated post-stay review intercept survey.

If the entire home is rented out then there can be some incentives to fix things like some big repairs such as roof, windows etc.
