The tax assessment value of her house now is about 86k.Now here lies the problem,  being a single mother throughout the 90's and racking up school loans and credit card debt, she doesn't have the greatest credit score and has been denied a refinance in the past.. which is what would be the best scenario right?

Hello all,Does anyone know a roofer that will do a shingled roof in South Shore / Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago?  

Roof is good.

The house needs work after the initial showing, foundation problem cost $12000 dollars to repair, roof needs to replace within 2 years (showing signs of wear) so another $ 5000, plus minor wood rots and other things $3000 if I do the work.  

Stucco/tile roof construction in Vegas will have less maintenance than most properties in the mid west.

I watched them install a new roof on that house this summer.  

They can be GC's, electricians, plumbing, roofing, drywall, etc as I have none on my list for any type of repair work so far. 

I don't think anyone's going to find out if a single light switch was replaced in the property, but if suddenly there's a new roof on the property and no contractor invoice to back it up, that would be against the rules.

What is new is if all the mechanicals, plumbing, electrical, roof has been replaced.

This theory sounds good on paper but I know very few people to actually do this with success [except @Brandon Turner ].To complicate matters further, you are looking at an attached double, which are rare here in Indianapolis, that is zoned as two separate properties.As mentioned earlier, this defeats the "benefits" of having two doors under one roof/deed.In addition, this type of property is tough to resell in the future as well.I'd suggest passing on this one and whole concept - IMHO.
