While 25 years for a shingled roof is def. closing in on the end of life expectancy I agree with you that it is not leaking and structurally sound and was approved at time of building you should not have to replace.If the roof was replaced at somepoint and this is why color scheme is not matching then I think it woul dbe a much more difficult arguement for you.PLease keep us informed as I Am curious as to the outcome.Stand up to them though as they need to be aware of all teh facts.good luck,Chris

In my not so humble opinion, life is too short to take this one on as a rehab.

It's just that I do not want to turn away potentially good tenants, as they moved here for a better life, as the son is in college, and the husband has already had a full time job for the time he has been here.

If she puts cash value on it, then doesn't mean if there's a fire that costs about 50k to fix, she may only be getting 30 or 40k of that because the insurance company will deduct for useful life of things?

With zero initial investment and a string of positive cash flows over the life of the project, both NPV and IRR will be positive and won't really tell you anything meaningful.I'm sure I'm probably missing something, but I don't know what it is?

I get to make a difference in someone's life!

He's just recognizing that he may not want to have to do it his entire life and still be able to maintain the kind of lifestyle he wants to live.I think you're on the money looking at real estate now.Your loans are obviously going to be a bit of an impediment in the beginning.

Up here its legal to shoot bores in defense of life and property.

Yes John, another good approach, people that couldn't sell and ended up renting to move, estate deals, see who retires at the plant maybe the spouse has been taking care of the properties, tie landlords to those events in life that motivate them to sell, otherwise you're spinning your wheels. :)
