When replacing or repairing the roof how does that affect the labor from the roofer with the panels in the way?

fixed roof, replaced furnace, full bathroom and kitchen rehab What was the outcome?

I'm not aware of any one-stop shop websites that will help you with every aspect of the 1031 from start to finish.

What kind of things do you guys look for when first checking out a rental property, aside from the obvious roof, windows, furnace, big ticket items.

We have been caught in a conundrum: after 2008 we almost stopped new construction while the population kept growing, so the ratio of roofs to people in the US kept slipping.

The best way to make the numbers work is to limit the work to cleaning, paint and carpet and avoid expensive projects like roof, windows, replacing plumbing and electrical systems, driveway etc - as these take huge amounts of capital, but will typically not drive up the ARV by much.
