Thank you for suggestions, I know CA will be too expensive although Cathedral city, Palm Springs are looking good. . 

Investment Info:Single-family residence note investment investment in Cathedral City.

We were very adamant on finding an A frame style with large windows and cathedral ceilings.

In two local cities (Cathedral City, and Palm Springs) a fire department inspection is required prior to the close of escrow. 

If the roof is sagging over a cathedral ceiling, it might be easier to inspect the underside of the roof from the outside opening the soffit.

The roof has to be replaced and the house needs to be reframed so if they are doing that, I figure the roof can be raised a good few feet so I can have cathedral ceilings in the living room.

Baffles are installed when insulation is present to give space for proper ventilation especially in cathedral ceilings.

The house is:1,088 sqft3 bed 1 bath2x4 exterior walls 2x6 raftersThe R-Value that I have reach is:R-19 in the wallsR-30 in cathedral ceilingR-38 flat ceilingI have (3) options as for the insulation:1. 2 lb spray foam will give me r-21 in the walls at least and at least r-35 in my cathedral ceiling (most expensive)2.

4 bed, 3 bath, 3820 sq ft, built 1991Listing description - Cathedral ceilings and rich hardwoods welcome you to this stunningly refreshed Burnstead home in the coveted Tibbetts Station.

I think you can still get a permit in Cathedral City for now.
