I'd call a few roofers in the area off of Craigslist and ask them, in general, what they'd charge per square for a basic, asphalt shingle roof.

I've always used Homestyler.com, which is a web-based design software that can be used to create basic floor plans for your contractors.

I started running him through the basic pre-screening questions and red flags flew up left and right but I am not completely writing him off.

The best thing is to buy into house appreciation when you see it coming as a massive wave while ensuring that you can surf the wave on your board.For some, that means been cash flow positive going to the deal (safer and conservative approach)For other, it is acknowledging that you would be out of pocket every month until you sell the asset, which is OK... but that is not a scalable strategy

So basically we need to do over each unit.

Even if the property appreciates at the exact same rate as inflation (so basically zero growth), every time you make a mortgage payment you're building up equity. 

A few Google searches of "mortgage basics" or "mortgage 101" or something along those lines will point you in the right direction.
