The 1x6 (or 1x8) planks boards are usually better to nail into and is a much more rigid structure/support.When the roof is repaired, or mainly replaced, any of those support boards that are broken, cracked, split etc, are replaced! 

Richard nailed it, but I'll add some additional detail.Determine if they are under a lease.

Hello @Christian Leon - pretty much everyone above nailed down the differences between 32209 vs 32225.

I personally got started this year and have already learned so much from the BIggerPockets community.Jeff and James have hit the nail on the head if you are looking to stay in the Denver area.

The next thing is to nail that what your ARV of that property is so you can detetermine how much you can actually even take out...If you nail that ARV you might be able to get enough cash out do small reparis on the current property or even out right buy another property all cash..I bought my frst property for $6800 from a tax sale, i put 10k into it and was able to get my AVR at 85k...i pulled out 40k....I paid myself back, and i bought another rental...I repeated that process 9 times...Of course each time was slightly different but the concept is the same...I buy cheap properties out of state so this method rocks for me...My personal advice would be to stay away from private money or HML....get conventional financing...the rates are way better, i have two 40k mortgages out and i pay less than $185 a month for each on 30 yr term...

We started with ads on craigslist, paying people 11 an hour and got the worst quality work you could imagine- people didn't nail siding down, spilled paint on shingles, some even stole money...it just didn't seem worth going the cheap route.

This keeps me from paying for 1-2 dumpsters plus all the extra work pulling it out, cleaning it out, getting out nails.

•I have been figuring 7% for Capex due to the fact that my properties are rehabbed really heavily/completely but i want to put a total dollar cap on the amount i should be holding if i reach that. 

@Michael Gessner you hit the nail on the head your last reply  post.

@JD Martin hit the nail on the head and it really "depends" on how the "outdated and ugly" look compares to your competition.
