I don't have a great product recommendation, however there's an expanding foam product that's made for gaps to make a coy pond, so it's got to be water proof.The next time we need a stop gap, we will mark where the water is coming from, and then when it's stopped raining, we may try sealing it up from the inside.Of course, this is a band aid as usually when water is coming through, over time you will still have slow rot of your roof sheeting.

This will allow you to narrow your focus to a specific area and/or property type.

With either option you are likely to lose the lower paying tenants by the end, so it is just whether you want to peel the band aid now or stretch it out over time.
