Forgive me, I am not familiar with timberline roofing material, but composition shingle, 30 year roofing with old removal and haul, flashings, etc. on 1900 square feet of material should not exceed $7k unless you select a much higher grade shingle or you have to replace a lot of plywood.I just completed a re-roof job which included stripping old shingles, new flashings, Replacing about 1/2 of the facia boards that had dry wrought and repairing some plywood under the AC unit that leaked through the roof for $6,500 and I could have got it for less.

Hopefully this will line up with the dates you guys select.

Agreed Brian, I didn't go as a kid as you should do, I went on the GI Bill, one of those social programs you know, and selected a major that was expected to be applicable to business, it was still a great time even being older, with a family while working full time.

You may have gathered that I've worked with Jerry Puckett, and he and I have collaborated to select my list criteria.

He is thrilled and thinks he is getting a phenomenal deal since the neighborhood is in gentrification he feels he wants to stay for a few yearsAlso you have to understand also that the kitchens and baths and living spaces are way above grade for the area water fall faucets, laminate flooring, deep sinksglass back splashes tiled floors in bathrooms rain shower heads washer dryer hook ups and the rent is ultimately on par or slightly less than the neighborhood so I feel I have the right to be selective(that is my arrogance talking) so to address that as far as my process seeming arrogantI have been accused of being arrogant before so I wont be mad anyone for saying that.but I am genuinely a nice caring person who will bend over backwards for my tenantsso i may be a little arrogant but I will jump through hoops for them just like I am expecting them to jump through a few hoopsI will say I am humbled by all of the solidarity against my plan so I wil re think it I have much to learn and this is my first venture into this game I am doing it solely on instinct and my intuition so thanks for all of your feedback everyone I am positive it all came from a place of love and caringJust a side note I am so laid back and easy going that sometimes people tend to take advantage of my kindness so part of what I do is make sure the people who I have to interact with have some integrity and moral character so that I dont have to be a bad guy when they stop paying their rent because they somehow think they can get away with anything and they push the envelope until I have to show my teeth

I also have a link to the thread: I have compiled a list of questions that you can select which are most pertinent to your situation:What was the most recent CE course you took and when?

I have considered this exit as a means of liquidating a few select properties of my own.

Also, I would say that determining what you buy should go in this order: 1) Investment Goals & Philosophy, 2) Market Selection, 3) Team of people to work with and Last, 4) the property.

But will still be buying in Richmond still, and select properties in Oakland..It's definitely a lot more per foot (and very high GRMs) once you go south of the SF parallel..

Many times that don't or shouldn't influence the tenant selection process, but still can lead to problems.
