After all if you are purchasing fix and flips, you use the exact same methodology to identify, analyze, and structure your deals.

Anyone have success stories, tips, and/or advice on how to best use this methodology? 

There are obviously more CapEx items besides just the roof that I would apply the same methodology to.Other than that, best of luck to you should you pursue this deal!

If you're a Mac/iOS person, OmniFocus (https://www.omnigroup.com/omni...) is an app that you can use to easily implement the GTD method (see book Getting Things Done, by David Allen - https://gettingthingsdone.com/).

If you can find a reliable methodology it will make life much easier.You can determine local utility bill history by calling the utility company, providing the address, and ask what it has been averaging.

- Is there a proven methodology I can use to craft my pitch?
