If there's not, then chances are that you don't have any higher up (there are exceptions, like someone picking up some used wooden furniture with termites and bringing them into their apartment, but it's not so often)What's the roof like?

Hello, All.  Our Single Family rental in Los Angeles has developed a leak in the room.  Water puddle on the living room floor this morning.  Does anybody have a referral for a good roofer or leak specialist in my area...

A new roof, done properly, should last 30 years.

They get an attorney to memorialize what you decided.As fas as raising capital once you start pooling capital you are steeping into a different world - the securities world (nothing to be scared of) and have to play according to a set of rules.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.8bd/4bth legal 3 unit Unit 1:2/1 TNT pays all, rent 550Unit2:2/1 TNT pays all rent 475Unit 3:2/1 rent 450Asking price 100kARV 140kDp 5% at 5k loan AMT 95kLoan interest at 4%Expenses:P&I: 453Insurance: 100 Water sewer: 100Prop tax:300Repairs: 147.50 at 10%Capex:147.50 at 10%Vacancy:118.00 at 8%Cashflow: 158.46Cap rate:5.25%Coc ROI:38.03%GRM:5.65This represents a purchase at asking price however when I viewed the unit a couple things stood out the attic seemed to have done a little moisture issues so I'm guessing the roof might need replacing, also the tenant in one unit had been therefore 10 years, thus the rental are below market value from comparables a these units rent could conservatively be rented for 600 600 and 525 boosting cf to 383.46, the first unit has lower ceiling also the one tenant who'd been there for 10 years complained of the first unit being occupied by gang bangers who sell drugs out the unit.

Ask when the roof was last replaced as well as the HVAC systems.

I took to real estate because I just love houses and the job site,  I love everything about real estate... but.. can I just ask why don't flips start with the roof, or offer a roof cert?
