Yes, typically metal roofs can be painted - but a quality job includes proper prep.And if it's for a buy and hold, then as @Jerry W. mentioned, the cycle of painting is a maintenance item to account for.As to if it's worth changing - what is the functional/physical condition of the roof and what are you plans with the property?

With my schedule changing every two weeks it’s hard to attend a physical class or do time sensitive zoom class.

@Nathan Stanley, I highly recommend Kaplan:https://www.kapre.com/real-est...I order the $279 package that includes textbooks because I'm old-school (by which I mean "old") and prefer highlighting physical textbooks.

They have a large footprint across Texas and physical locations in the 4 largest metro areas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio).They offer in-person and online options.

Capital, on the other hand is a $35k/yr. private school...although it is in  affluent Bexley, the physical availability of MF properties are nearly non-existent...but opportunity does present itself from time to time...and if you expand to include SFR's your odds increase.

In Chicagoland, there are 12 lenders with physical offices near you that have done at least 1 FHA 203k in the past 12 months and an additional 37 lenders that may not have offices nearby but have done at least 1 FHA 203k since October 2021. 

If you're own market is prohibitive for your strategy, think of places you've physically visited where you would like to own property.  

It’s somewhat rare to find 1% deals here, and the ones that are out there are typically in less desirable locations, maybe with high crime or close to industry, or they are in poor physical condition and have extensive deferred maintenance, or they require management-intensive strategies to operate like renting by the room or they have other issues.

I evaluate location and the physical asset - the quality and the intrinsic value of a property.

If yes, take his address for your physic presence in MO.
