They also keep saying how they dont want me buying a property out of state because i don't have a network of contractors they trust, and will constantly have to check in to make sure the job has been done properly. 

However you can reduce the risk to almost nothing with proper knowledge. 

I will be installing new security cameras around the area but that will only capture what has happened. 

Just make sure you're properly insured and leave it at that.  

If your goal is to defer capital gains tax on the sale and use the (as yet) untaxed sales proceeds to buy the business then you can accomplish this with a monetized installment sale.

I'm not sure how to properly valuate this... even though the comps show that the price is correct-ishHow can you help?

I have ask my landlord to replace my carpet since it's been over 10 years since I moved in she has agreed to replace the carpet on several occasions  however stated that  the property owner needs to come and inspect the carpet to make sure that  it is not  above and beyond normal wear and tear it is my understanding that in California the carpet should be replaced after 10 years  it is has bugs in it  there is no padding left  it is filthy grungy and it's already been cleaned twice and no  difference  because I am diabetic if I can have it replace laminate flooring that are being installed and all the  recently vacated units  which are being renovated I asked her on several occasions if I can have laminate floor instead of carpet and she stated that they cannot install laminate flooring in upstairs units due to the noise however I just discovered that the unit adjacent to mine on the upstairs floor  just  was renovated and they installed laminate flooring as this discrimination can I demand  this type of flooring  and ask  her about the new laminate flooring on the second floor policy and why I am unable to  have the same  can I demand that type of flooring or do I have to have carpet  I also feel she is being discriminating against me for no reason  she has been short when I ask for repairs  I asked to move to the downstairs unit and she gave me a whole rant about how she doesn't think that the property owners would allow me to move down there based on my rent being late once or twice  and a bunch of other reasons which I don't think it's her business  to point these things out to me or rather she should just give me the application or instructions on how to go about it and let the property owners make that decision  do I have any basis for discrimination  complaint against her with the fair housing authorities  California

I had to edit the report 6 or 7 times; playing around with the numbers and learning how properly enter all the data.A realtor that I met on BP (don't know if I should name drop here) advised me that the ARV would be about 130K and that it would rent for about $1,100. 70% of 130,000 is 91,000.

The cost of living generally eats most small investors profits when owning properities outright.  

I've read that metal will last possibly twice as long as asphalt though a tad more expensive to install.
