Thanks for the response.

The challenge will be “proof” on your part that you shouldn’t be held responsible for items.all the best!

What I do to try to ensure a fair appraisal is I give the appraiser copies of what I believe are solid comparable sales when they walk through.

If it were mine I would replace the roof, including any roof decking underneath the shingles that need to be replaced, and look into the cost of doing a ridge vent at the top.As far as the air conditioning system , you might be replacing a well built heavy duty unit with something that has a much shorter service life and instead of using freon it uses some incredibly expensive chemical . 

@Chris Seveney thank you for your response.

Once tenants achieve having a voucher, they tend to understand that they are responsible for the general upkeep of the home (i.e., cleanliness, basic landscaping for SFHs, holes in the wall, doorknobs broken, etc.).

Almost all the gurus push the idea of heavy leverage.

So, I'm waiting and I'm asking what the status is and not getting any response from anyone.

RE agents are feeding into this by offering introductions to "trusted" contractors or misrepresenting how "easy" it is to find a contractor and handle the renovations as a DIY GC.We've always had a hybrid model where we help investors purchase a property in a solid area that needs rehab.

Great question....my answer is total guess vs expert response, but I don't think you probably gain much if anything by doing a cost seg on a single family house with long term renter.
