As for MLS listings, I've been writing a lot more offers realizing that only a fraction will work out.What have you done to succeed in obtaining properties in crazy hot markets?

Agents are hired to represent buyers or sellers, and no matter on whose size I am, that is the client that will do the absolute best deal, or in a hot market like Chicago right now - will get the deal in multiple bids.In the fsbo cases, I had every seller that thought they saved a commission by listing in mls on their own take a lot less than if you had an agent.Regarding Redfin, I have my own opinion based on my experience with their agents and with clients that bought or sold with me after meeting them, however I can't express my thoughts here as is illegal for me to comment on a different brokerage.Please understand that the experience a broker that sold hundreds of properties, negotiated with all kind of personalities and saw all kind of situations - brings at the table a lot more than writing an offer.  

Expanding on that: Can I separate some of the fix up costs like flooring, the new hot water heater, the new fridge, etc and make each of these separate assets for their own depreciation.

I'm guessing that SFHs in the better areas of SD are hot right now.

I'm glad I have 3 areas working for me at present and 1 is super hot, making me change my thoughts..

And, if the market is so hot, why not do some pre-sold deals?

Some stuff I did to get inside and show you care;The grand welcomes,Ceiling fanNew garbage disposalStrip light under cabinetNew light fixture(s)Under sink storage rack screwed in typeUpper shelf in closet or utility areaOther vistsSanded drawer guideCheck cabinet latches and tightenClothes rod holders screwed inTub enclosure adjustments serviceTouch up paintUse wood tone or white marking pen on woodworkTighten door knobsAdd window latches, wax guides3 in 1 on door hingesFix any dripping faucet, shower head-replace the disk in the headSome things I can remember, but there's tons of stuff you can do.Takes less than ten minutes and keeps stuff running smooth.Best of all, it's one on one time and not about the "business" side, always asking where rent is or reminding them to return the trash cart, it's positive LL time, show you care about how well they live in your unit.

hi marc hope this answers your question roll roofing is always ok and its actually supposed to be used when there is a little pitch when there is no pitch roll roofing is also required but it has to be smooth no granulated torch or hot work must be a Peal in stick base and cap smooth then when you get to pitch roofs only up to a 3 12 pitch could you roll horizontally any thing great from 4 12 to 8 12 must be rolled vertically or as what some people call strapped any thing greater then 8 12 must either be 6 nailed shingle and felt strapped or standing seam metal

At that time, I had the hot water boiler system checked.

There's a machine with a metal piece at a 45 degree angle that goes between the corners and heats it up super hot which fuses the vinyl pieces together.
