@Curt Davis we have bad winters here in the snow belt of western New York.

@Jeremy Mattson, what about lawn care and snow removal?

The only maintenance will be some snow removal and possibly some mowing, (literally about five minutes worth) which.

HI ChrisAfter doing this sort of work for 32 yrs FL code has hight restrictions if you wish to fit anA frame roof check with building officials first, and that would be the expensive way plus you still have insightfully ceilings. the roof beams are undersized or to wide on center i think the best thing to do is lightly jack up the old beams and sister it with new ones to hold it,s shape if the sag is over 2" you will need LVL,s as for the roof remove old layers and fit ISO foam board and layer it higher on center so you have a peak in-turn water flows off most off all you don,t have snow loads in FL to worry about as for wood rot check the sill plates first or have a professional put hands on to advise hope i helped you      

Since the snow will be covering up most of the ground up here in Canada, we opted for minor landscaping only (pruning and removing trees/bushes).  

I usually attend but not tonight because of the snow:  http://www.meetup.com/NJ-Flippers-and-Funders-Meet...This one next Tuesday, I will be attending:  http://www.meetup.com/New-Jersey-Real-Estate-Inves...You will get to meet great people who are willing to help at these meetings. good luck and maybe we will meet at one.

I felt like I was in a snow globe the whole time.

Your insurance should be a little lower but it doesn't appear you've accounted for any water, sewer, trash, common electric, snow removal, lawn, etc...

But because of the property being a duplex, I would assume that I would be paying for upkeep of lawn and snow removal. maybe $1200 annual?
