I had an issue with 4-wheeler's riding through my backyard along the lake, most active during deer season and cold weather.

Water will always take the path of least resistance and flow to the lowest point. 

So, the material I need will need to be sun, water, and scratch resistant but economical.

Couldn't resist saying Hi.

Unless you are renting high-end properties, a rent raise above $50 will generally be met with resistance.

They should use UV resistant flexible sealant and the roofer should tell you if the original install meets the building code.

Hopefully the weather in Clearwater is quite nice.Derik

I only have done one investment deal and it was sold because I was under the weather and we (my wife and I) had a balloon payment due.  

You hear a lot about making a sure a property cash flows to weather storms, but not as much about a threshold for % in decline in value.

Make sure you have enough in reserves to weather a couple of months without rent.If it's going to take $50,000 to bring them up to 100% rent, and you're renting out at $500 a month, it's going to take a long time to just break even.
