It was dry material, but I found it quite well formatted to come and go from.  

Normally, a roof is considered an integral part of the structure and would be subject to depreciation over 27.5 years or about 3.6% ($3,600) of the total project cost per year.But whenever I have a roof done I ask my roofer to itemize the cost of labor and disposal associated with tearing off the old roof and dumping the worn out material. 

@Nathan WilliamsYes I have the best in town total package.

I read in Brandon Turner's book that I can find out the cost of materials and double it to get a good estimate of the total cost of materials+labor together.

Casey, private money is your easiest way to gain momentum, much easier than refinancing a whole package, everything else I have mentioned will aid and compound, but it takes time.If you pay someone in your family 6% on their money you should be able to earn repay a down payment in 2-3 years with interest.

as they slowly put down the package and back away.

My agent sent over an addendum to extend the closing since I'm using a rehab loan and I also had added that all hazardous materials must be removed prior to closing.

The other catch is that when a deal does materialize, any marketing dollars we spent will be withheld from your finders fee.

Are there any Texas investors in the RGV (Harlingen, McAllen, Brownsville, Weslaco, Donna, Mercedes, San Benito) who are willing to share your favorite places to buy materials for rehabs at a great price?

you supply material?
