Use the upgrades however do not expect shingles of any quality to realistically last 35/40 years. 25 year shingles will safely last 15 years depending on the climate, attic ventilation, direction roof is facing etc. 40 year might last 25 but that may be a stretch.Metal would be preferred longevity wise however cost prohibitive for a rental.

If it is a C+ or approaching B class finding better quality tenants may be easier than falling back on S8.

Ask their previous customers if they were on time, easy to work with, and if they did a quality job. 

I'm curious what methods most investors in the area use to successfully source their deals.The rehab process is probably where I could use the most guidance given I have no background in the industry.

@Rush Wall, I have not used direct mail, but heard of others using that method successfully.  

Contractor turned out to be both an associate of the realtor and the repair guy for the PM.Perhaps not the preferred method of putting a team together, especially if you are risk averse, but in the end it worked out very well for me.

Hello everyone, i would like to know uf there are any meetings going on in Las Vegas any time soon? thank you!

One might argue that the Fundrise investment has a better risk profile which is true from a number of assets standpoint, but not necessarily true from a quality of manager standpoint because as many have mentioned I have no idea who's running those deals. 

I read a lot about the BRRRR method and it seems great but I'm a little confused on the specifics.  

What qualities would you be looking for in the agent?
