Metal roofs and brick construction cost you less over time than asphalt and vinyl.

The roof is original and will come in the next 5 years...I am fully aware that there will never be a perfect home, but in the hot markets of the last weeks in Charleston, SC I am concerned we might have caught a peak...

It needs a new roof, currently runs on oil (needs to be converted eventually), but both of these jobs are well over 150k which we dont have.We met with a couple younger kids regarding marijuana facility since they grow it in a smaller facility.

New roof 20192.

Next, we demolished both bathrooms, completely gutted the kitchen and tore off the existing roof.

Stokes Jr 2 things... one, they know in a crisis situation, you're more likely to keep a roof over your own head paid than an investment, and second, because a majority of the mortgage industry plays to the tune of Fannie and Freddie, which would rather show gains in new home ownership over new millionaires made.

In the due diligence period - my awesome agent & partner Corby not only handled the 1031 but got me a free brand new roof on an insurance claim from previous hail damage prior to closing.

Where you run into problems is longer vacancy rates and repairs being a larger percentage of your gross rents (furnaces and roofs cost more or less the same on a 150k house and a 50k house) then if you were buying the same property in Marshall or Brookings 

It did have a new roof and furnace and the layout was nice and in a pretty good location. 

Roof looked like it needed to be replaced soon though.
