They should be leading the charge, explaining the process ahead of time so that you know they are large and in charge.Definitely look for a new PM.

Seems like a real cash cow if you get ahead of the ball. 

Just a heads-up—bonus depreciation can be claimed up to 60% for 2024, and it will drop down to 40% in 2025, so that’s something to keep in mind as you evaluate your options.I’m not endorsing any particular company, and I don’t receive referral fees for recommending the one I used.

I have the funds to pay for the roof replacement, and I would pay for it ahead of the actual purchase, but hate loosing on the tax depreciation on installing a new roof since I'll be paying for something I don't own.

They dig up deals that make a head spin ("what, where the F did you find this?").

It doesn't matter - You as the big bad rich landlord have a target on your back and will be named to the lawsuit and your insurance carrier will rush to settle it quickly and then you'll be dealing with the long term challenges of having that claim in your insurance history. 

Within the next mile you have another 3 large nationals.I would call them all and tell them your redoing your house in two months and ask how far ahead you need to reserve a 10 x 15 unit and what the cost is. 

If the cost is reasonable, I would go ahead and make the improvement.  

You'll end up way ahead before April 2025.

If your intent is to go ahead with the purchase how do you get around the inspection fee...another words do investors as a regular practice PAY an inspector to inspect the property even though its not really yours yet ...and may never be??
