Oh yeah.......depending on how trashed the place is, you can spend an easy $5-10k on demo , hauling and clean-up.

I think the buydown is a scam over the long haul.

I'm originally from Western PA as well (Slippery Rock) and now reside in Atlanta.Here is how I am looking at it along with the assumptions I am making:1) I think the growth prospects are better in the Atlanta market than Pittsburgh from a pure demographics standpoint.2) I estimate your return on equity at 7.2% currently3) Over the long haul appreciation is going to take you further when it comes to net worth than cashflow will4) Doubling of the roofs is doubling the expensesThings to consider:1) What is the year built of your Atlanta property vs. what you could replace it with in PGH?

I have to expect we're in for a correction sooner or later given how long it's had a bull run (other than covid and the brief really shallow "recession" we had in 2022).But its returns will almost certainly be better than 6.5% over the long haul.

This campus hosts a large Magnolia home goods store, high end furniture store, cupcake bakery, coffee shop, gardening shop, live music concert venue, large grass area with toys and balls for kids to play with, an open plaza with eight food trucks, a small baseball field (that Babe Ruth once played on and families can now play on for fun), a restored historic chapel (the oldest chapel in Central Texas), and six boutique shops with men, women, and children's products.

I'm in this for the long haul!

They'll be bought by local members of the communities often to house their toys, be used as workshops, some people rent them out as storage, etc.  

Having a safe forum for LPs the share their experiences is needed.Cheryl  In EVERY business there are two kinds of market participants; the people/companies in it for the long haul, through both good and not so good economic times, consisting of EXPERIENCED, PROFESSIONALS whose careers are dedicated to and dependent on fulfilling the needs of their clients/customers.The other type of participant are in the particular business because it’s OPPORTUNISTIC for them to be in it AT THE TIME.  

Own every nice toy, item, apparel, everything imaginable.

Happy to. Yes
