I commend you on your practice of providing good quality rentals and taking care of your renters when repairs are needed.

Also, have to know the local practice on 100 for the garage, and what if someone was not interested... so that income may be tough or a "bonus" for a one year lease to attract a good tenant...

LOL  You left one best markets in the country to practice real estate. 

In order to be completely protected it is good practice to make sure both the title & insurance policy are in the same "business name".  

Do wholesalers care about breaking the law and practicing real estate without a license?

And, modern flat roof systems consist of a membrane to waterproof the roof and not the layered felt & hot asphalt.  

So just use any opportunity to practice real estate6.

@Scott Nolan as many have said you won't really get a good representation of response rate until you mail consistently for several months.  

So, basically I wanted to start practicing analyzing deals.

For these dry climates, there are so few heating days that the high cost of heating is not economically significant.Electric resistance heating may also make sense for a home addition if it is not practical to extend the existing heating system to supply heat to the new addition."
