I sold a beachfront home last year that was ICF constructed in 2000 with a metal roof on concrete pilings and the insurance went up triple what my larger 2019 stick built with shingle roof 6 lots down is. 

At some point I want to build a 5000sf metal building to work out of instead of renting.

Less than 2 percent of Americans own physical precious metals gold and silver. 2.

It’s a similar concept to gold-which I’m a fan of, but it’s way easier to move in and out of positions than physical metals.

Because if the mechanicals need protection from the locals, the renters must feel the need for protection from them also.Just my 2 cents. the issue with dogs is the windows are removed and the metal window coverings have holes in them to allow circulation. so in the winter in Chicago its freezing in those houses so they have to use portable lights and portable heaters to work inside.. its truly a shame that its come to this for rehabbers and builders..

They decided to replace the entire 50 year shingles that were only 4 years old and replaced it with a metal roof. 

@Gulliver Raza I paid an attorney a few thousand dollars to create an iron clad lease agreement a few years back, and then it became obsolete due to new disclosures being required etc.

The state of OH took 90% of the back yard of the house across the street (nearest the highway) for widening - they have since put up a giant ugly metal barrier right in their backyard.

If it is some kind of big deal like it is an old metal barn eyesore on a downtown city block undergoing revitalization and you're going to build a $10mil apartment building on it, if you can get the land...hey hey maybe the powers that be might negotiate something with you, with perhaps a promise you won't fight value for 10 years or something like that. 

Also, you want to make sure that your estate plan is in place to make your end of life wishes iron clad and easy for your beneficiaries.
