Maybe roof age or other u/w reasons.

That in the Dean wood area are maybe the only two area in the DC  where the properties have not jump through the roof.

My repair costs are near zero because I do all work myself, from roofing to furnaces to sewers.

Where is it leaking, roof composition, pitch, etc? 

Roof is approx 15 yo. 4 water heaters been replaced in past 5 years. current brings in $5200 month.

I just bought a new property and I was wondering if I was going to rent this out, what repairs should I make in terms of the roof and should I add an addition?

And a nice rehabbed cash flowing house with a new roof, hvac, driveway, LVP floors and updated kitchen and bathrooms.

With builders offering in-house financing as low as 5.5% for investors/second home owners, and warranties on roofs and HVAC systems, I continue to support new construction as a solid choice for LTR buyers.

We're looking to renovate something before the end of the year to accomplish 2 things: 1) Improve home value so we can get appraisal, refinance and leverage that to buy a new property. 2) Take advantage of the tax credits that are out there in 2024 before the new year or is it better to wait until 2025 and just hold onto the cash I have at hand.Here is a list of renovations that will need to be done eventually:*Brand new basement kitchen (cabinets + add seating area - we already have brand new dishwasher, fridge, gas oven)*New standing shower in the basement bathroom*New Siding*AC/Furnace for unit 1 are close to end of life but still functioning*New Fence/landscaping*New Windows for the basement*New Garage (unstable, concrete shifting, very old)*Solar Panels on the roof (There is a $0 down payment lease option w/ sunrun, but I'm hesitant to move forward)*Renovate master bedroom closet for tenants (it is old & has built in entertainment center that is very dated)*Repair Catch basin*Adding better drainage system for back door.Greatly appreciate any help, insight or advice!

I'd have better chances of survival skipping down central ave Tehran with a Yamika singing fiddler on the roof tunes, in Yiddish, than I would just walking through parts of CA carrying a Trump 2024 flag......
