@Joe Hamner The assessed land value does NOT mean that you will have no depreciable basis and everything will be assigned to land (not depreciable).Getting a cost segregation study done will break out the 15 year depreciable assets (landscaping, pavement, fencing, site lighting, etc.) from the 27.5-year infrastructure assets (septic, water, propane, electrical, etc.).

The way we work with a slate roof is simply to remove all the slate from the section of roof where the solar array will go, then tie in to the trusses/rafters with standoffs and either use a rolled asphalt surface or a rubber membrane to seal the portion of roof under the panels, then replace some of the slate around the edges so it's a seamless transition from slate to solar.

Beating pavement.

Looking for recommendations from flippers: there's a concrete walkway next to my house that looks like the previous owner "sealed" the house with asphalt.

My name is Paris and I’m a young professional in Washington, DC looking to hit the pavement and start my journey in real estate as an agent but also very very optimistic about wholesaling.

As long as that’s at least close to fair rent, it’s a newer house, and you have plenty of cash to replace roof (if it’s asphalt plan on buying one), water heater, ac/furnace.I’d get a serious real estate lawyer involved, what happens after 10 years  if they want to stay can’t/won’t move, what happens if you don’t fix something fast enough, landscaping, snow removal?

So to have found this deal while it is a seller's market should just serve as a testament that there is no replacement for getting out there and pounding the pavement.   

Getting quotes for roof replacement (Asphalt Shingles 30 year).

One of the items I want to rehab is the driveway which needs asphalt resurfacing.
