I should also look at trimming or taking down a couple of pine trees the drop sap and debris onto the roof.  

I use roofing felt, the tar paper stuff.

I have a couple of SFR and they cash flowed great for years until the roof , AC, windows, insulation needed replacing.  

Rents are through the roof and so is competition but the opportunity still exists.

Seller said a few cosmetic things they would take care of before closing, but it was remodeled in 2012, new roof in 2008, termite prevention in 2013.

The taxes and insurance (homeowner's policy) are in the buyer's name, paid for by me (additionally insured) as part of their monthly payments.If the property needs work, or upcoming repairs (new roof, windows, etc) I include these improvements within the contract with a penalty cost if not performed by agreed date.

Kurt Kwart I bought the property 3 years ago with intensions to do it myself then shortly after had to spend money on my own house ripping my roof off due to mold in the attic.

Hello all,Does anyone know a roofer that will do a shingled roof in South Shore / Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood of Chicago?  

Roof is good.

The house needs work after the initial showing, foundation problem cost $12000 dollars to repair, roof needs to replace within 2 years (showing signs of wear) so another $ 5000, plus minor wood rots and other things $3000 if I do the work.
