A roof is part of the underlying structure and is therefore depreciated as the underlying structure is, which is 27.5 years.

As long as I end up with a property that is structurally better and younger (capex) than most comps and I stay below 75% LTV with good cashflow I think it's a solid deal.

Hey everyone, I am new to the forum and looking to get some advice on how to structure a seller financing deal. 

I attended a training seminar recently where they beat into us "structure drives behavior!"

I currently work as an executive in the IT field and my fiancé works as a project manager in construction building skyscrapers and other urban structures.

You should find out from your local building department if they will accept what is known as standard construction plans or if you will be required to have them produced by a licensed architect and licensed structural engineer.Usually if your city will approve your proposal the electrical and gas meters will be installed , after your inspections have been approved.

I didn't see any issues structurally or anything.
