typically shingles will run you $20/bundle (3 per 100 sq ft or 1 Square) for lower end, install depends much on tear off and prep or shingle over and prep, we have opted for Steel when ever reasonable to do so, it costs about 10-20% more up front, but will out last me, and does not have Ice damming problems we see with regular shingles in the north. standard shingles, you can expect about 1/2-2/3 the stated warranty actual life span, so 40 year shingles will last about 20 years, but steel, even 40 year has been known to far exceed the 40 year warranty, I can typically get a roof done in steel with a 2 layer tear off, and steel installed for around $4-6K for a 13 Sq roof thats material, labor and disposal, I just has a 11 sq one does with dimensional shingles (steel wasnt practical) for $2,700 including tear off and disposal. keep in mind, the cheap guy may not be the best value, there are a lot of hacks out there, and anyone with a pitch fork, a hammer and a nail gun calls them self a roofer. 

Thank you @Joe WhiteThe answer is 'depends' Depends on the following;* Construction Costs* Self renovated or licensed contractor* Two types of 203K programs (Streamline &  Standard 203K)Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

Hi all,As you all know, being an agent in this industry "holds us to a higher standard", even for our own deals.

I feel it's a standard set by investors to owning many property or maybe it's a badge of success when you have many property, but to me what really matters is if their paid off or not.

If the city could prove that the home was either not lived in for a year or that it was used for any commercial use then they would deny the certification and traditional residential financing would be a lot harder to get.Something else to keep in mind is that if I did change the use of the land I would need to bring the standards of the lot up to today's standards.

Industry standard is for liability limits to be $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 per policy year.

Thanks - @Michele Fischer  - I doubt it's the application - I'm using the 'standard' from WI Legal Blank;  though it could be that my criteria are too strict. 

I don't know if this is their situation but  Im assuming it will be the standard and not financed in a less conventional way.PITI - 700.  

My mid-term goal (3-6 months from now) is to form or join a partnership with equity partners who aren't interested or able to be involved in the day-to-day and I can provide sweat equity in the form of making sure the process happens on time/budget/standard.

Good morning,I'm about to get my first property under contract using  a North Carolina Standard 2-T form.
