Real estate got my interest after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but don't worry, I'm not a sucker for The Guru Trap (though I appreciate the motivational speeches every now and again).

"At this time" is meant as a figure of speech.

They would need to cut up some of the flooring to install trusses and support to the upper level.

If they thought they were behind and hopless, they may not go.Canada has different views on free speech, they don't allow propaganda or known false statements to be broadcast there, that said, Fox News is not allowed in Canada due to their history of misstatements.

Flat roof changed to trussed and shingled and insulated.

What startups call the "elevator speech".

If you can dance around your speech patterns to convince them you are the manager, you can develop people management skills all the same.

However; the job is going to depend on the type of house, complexity of design (are you using trusses for the roof or does it require framers to build it, etc., are there utilities to the property or do they need to be brought, is it on septic or sewer, and many other variables.

The rafter tails don't carry much load and serve mainly to support the soffits, facia, and gutters so you should be able to get away with just nailing new 2x4's alongside the existing trusses and rebuilding the affected area.

In addition, my agent also invests in my projects as a private investor so I also add that into the speech when this topic comes up.
