It's not a life sentence.

Removing it is simply torture for me, which is why I have removed myself from that task, I feel like I added 10 years onto my life by making that decision.

For the life of me I can't locate anything relating to whether or not a land line telephone connection is a requirement for a LL in my state (Ohio).If this isn't a requirement and we don't correct the issue I can see it being an additional cost to the tenant should they want this service.

From building highly optimized websites, working on strategic SEM (search engine marketing) and SEO (search engine optimization) campaigns, to creating high quality and produced Video content, my skill set is directly conducive to the Real Estate Investor.Sports, Music, Family, Faith, and Culture are staples in my life and have been a key influence into who I have become today.I have started and exited companies in the past and currently run a Digital Marketing boutique while serving as a Director of Digital Education/Communications for a company in the Wealth Management industry.I'm excited to learn about real estate investing and excited to execute on the lessons I learn.Look forward to connecting and being a resource to you :)

Or, keep the principle secret, you buy in a double closing style transaction.

While 25 years for a shingled roof is def. closing in on the end of life expectancy I agree with you that it is not leaking and structurally sound and was approved at time of building you should not have to replace.If the roof was replaced at somepoint and this is why color scheme is not matching then I think it woul dbe a much more difficult arguement for you.PLease keep us informed as I Am curious as to the outcome.Stand up to them though as they need to be aware of all teh facts.good luck,Chris

In my not so humble opinion, life is too short to take this one on as a rehab.

It's just that I do not want to turn away potentially good tenants, as they moved here for a better life, as the son is in college, and the husband has already had a full time job for the time he has been here.

If she puts cash value on it, then doesn't mean if there's a fire that costs about 50k to fix, she may only be getting 30 or 40k of that because the insurance company will deduct for useful life of things?

With zero initial investment and a string of positive cash flows over the life of the project, both NPV and IRR will be positive and won't really tell you anything meaningful.I'm sure I'm probably missing something, but I don't know what it is?
