This property will be a buy-and-hold which begs the question of whether I go with a bit more expensive metal roof or asphalt shingles.

Its metal so they will rust out eventually.

My HVAC guy came back and finished the sheet metal, and set the a coil ect.

@Skye Anderson If it has any metal at all it magically grows legs and walks off while the house is vacant.

However, you would be more inclined to meet the Sellers price.You are correct assuming that the lower your Down payment is the better the CoCROI will be.Yes, PMI goes away once you refinance.I replace the roof on almost all my BRRRR deals with a metal roof.  

I am not trying to deal with a bunch of metal keys or 12pm lockouts.

it's a sacrificial metal rod that corrodes easier than the tank (by design), so that the tank itself remains rust free.so some tanks come with 5/8 OD diameter rods, others with 3/4 and I believe 1".I change them out every 4-5 years, they cost 10-20 bucks... 

They pulled too hard on the screen door, causing the attached metal rod to rip out a few pieces of wood from the frame.

Unless she has her device surrounded by cement or metal walls, there shouldn't be an issue.

Hi, I am looking for two small kitchen's worth of cheap, old solid-wood (and/or metal) cabinets ,and I only have a couple weeks to find them.
