You gave me some good insight.

Not sure on the building size or whether it has a flat roof, but I paid over $80K to get a 10k sq ft flat roof done back in 2021, with quotes as hight as $120K.Hope this helps, good luck!

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
