Plans are:Replace flooring with tile throughout.Rehab bathrooms replace vanities and massive cleaning where needed we will try to salvage tile on icky shower.

any buyer worth their salt doing due diligence runs the property address through some sorta RE search engine (realtor.com, redfin or.. if an agent, the mls) to see if its listed.  

I'm working as an Engineer with a decent salary, however I'm using my excess cash to pay down my existing debt incurred from my previous business.

I have another question, as the roof is already torn off and I don't have anyone contracted yet to do the replacement and the mess with the contractor what if I just leave the roof off? 

Hasn't steered me wrong in anything, whether it be real estate or car repairs (specifically Jiffy Lube trying to charge me $60 for $20 worth of filters I can get on Amazon and replace myself).EDIT: That said, $197 really isn't a lot.

You don't want to have to replace a furnace or roof and not have the funds to do it.Again, congrats on a great start in real estate investing!

For example, I almost always tear out carpet and replace with tile or trafficmaster, so my flooring costs are often higher than other landlords (at least initially).  

I write alot of business proposals and engineering cost estimates as part of my job.  

Construction type is "steel house", which means steel studs with shed type enclosing, and I understood that the sellers built the house themselves, probably with one of those pre-engineered kits, which may explain the initial N/A (not applicable) in the oldest sales history entry.

I have my Architect as structural engineer on permitting the garage to livable space and fixing a detached garage to the lot.
