When national supply increases, both of those strategies will cease to be as profitable.  

if it has wood shake, it will likely need all new OSB decking, but even with that and 2 layers of shingle removal, you would be at no more than $500 per square or around $9K in my market in KC....I don't know of any roofers in your area but sounds like you should definitely be able to get it done  right for WAY less than $15k...if you don't get any good roofer recommendations, try BBB, Angie's List or NARI ( National Association of the Remodeling Industry) for quality roofers and get a few bids....don't trust a "guesstimate" from another agent or anyone else who is not a roofer

I know a student relationship isn't asked below, but it probably should be.Now, I've been on bus tours but with national organizations of government housing officials, pretty dry, but it is good to see and even interact with a neighbor if there is time and you can get away from the tour guide.
