As much as I hate to sic a mans significant other on him in this particular case I feel there is a good chance he will get in line and everything will be golden.

My partner and I estimated it would have take us close to twice as long and likely cost us significantly more. 

BUT...when you have that "Low Jack" (the word RENTAL in the LLC) on a Judgment, you got a pretty good chance of getting paid, sooner or later as one day out of the blue, a Lender contact you asking where the borrower needs to mail the payment so he can get the mortgage needed to close on a home!  

If you go by the estimate CoC, you are getting 9%, and a total return over a 10 year period you are at 20%+, which for a lot of folks is pretty good.

Any estimate on how long that takes?

What do you estimate the cost would be to COMPLETELY repair the roof?
