Paint every surface that can't be cleaned enough to look acceptable and ensure all the mechanicals are working properly.

I’m a real estate investor in Madison and I’m also a licensed Realtor.

I have immersed myself heavily in studying real estate investing and understanding how to properly evaluate deals.

Friend does not have a real estate license, and they are about to get their first deal under contract.

However I didn't see any matches for Rock Star or Rockstar property management companies in the RI Dept of State database - which isn't a great sign.If you do end up talking to them, find out who their licensed real estate broker is.

If Ihave a properly arranged SDIRA, and put the property into an LLC owned by my IRA, can I take payments in exchange for the landlording work?

In my case, the property was already auctioned unsuccessfully and I have a good case of the proper value.

and that I have a pharmacist license in good standing.  

Your plan appears to fit your situation very well and executed properly has the potential to reap large rewards.

If it is a cold roof, and you add into the corner, you run the risk of have the new roof not properly vented, as wells as compromising the existing roof's venting.
