The rafter tails don't carry much load and serve mainly to support the soffits, facia, and gutters so you should be able to get away with just nailing new 2x4's alongside the existing trusses and rebuilding the affected area.

Thanks to you and @Kevin Perk for sharing comps in the area to give me a perspective of where their price stood.

Maintaining your records, operating agreement, keeping the funds separate,etc Treating it like a business.To not have insurance would be foolish as well, but not putting a property in an entity is a rookie/amateur move.LLC's are powerful if handled correctlyDisclaimer: I am not an attorney, just an investor with several LLCs that have all stood up in court protecting me.

So we ordered an appraisal and it came in at 119k and the ARV's in the neigborhood were selling for 150k to 170k so I stood to gain after repairs around $30k to 40k profit on the property after expenses.The problem came when the underwriter waited until the financing deadline day to review the appraisal and the inspection that they denied the loan due to 10k worth of repairs needed to be done.

I could build more at a time, but don't want to get caught with pants down when correction comes.These are all block homes with trusses and built for cash.This continues to be a fantastic place to live and invest.Rich

I stood in the background and watched Bob meet with the investors while his band of misfit workers would carry boards from the front of the house to the back and then bring them through the house so the investors "saw them working".

He was at such a loss for what to say he stood at attention and saluted "yes sir!". 

Garner played some great roles in some exceptional films and TV series, however none stood out more for me than his Jim Rockford, Private Investigator character.A guy with a troubled past, often broke and living in a cheesy trailer (but in Malibu) Rockford seemed to attract problems and people with problems.

I stood up in front of everyone and announced I was looking for a mentor and everyone just stared at me.
