Hey Frank, I'm new to BP and RE investing  (I've made several offers but no deals secured yet) so take my advice with a grain of salt but I think what you're going to get a lot of is...

Btw when we were looking at properties in Ephraim, nearly ALL the owners lived in Salt Lake, Provo, Stg, Vegas--- rarely did we find an investor who owned and lived in Ephraim.

All this is coming from a guy whom is not a millionaire by the way so take my advice with a grain of salt haha.

Take my advice with a grain of salt because I myself am a novice, but I will say you may be doing a bit too much for your first renovation!

I would suspect Salt Lake City has no shortage of qualified civil structural engineers if you Google it.

You should take what i say witha grain of salt, and always consult a lawyer about such matters.

Any attorney worth their salt would cost you more than the cost to refi if you chose to litigate this roof issue and I doubt you have a slam dunk case.

"Grading" is very subjective, so always take it with a grain of salt (especially if a seller/wholesaler is the one telling you the grade). 

I'm at the Salt Lick in the back right with a red backpack if anyone else is here.
