Poor people wait for their roofs to age. This is a great flex to get a new one annually. Get the latest materials.

If you have to fix your roof, you have to fix your roof. Who cares what the neighbors think.

How might I start to evaluate whether or not it’s worth it to keep my current primary residence and turn it into a rental, instead of selling and using the cash to roll into the next down payment for our next home? Currently in our “starter home” and thinking to upgrade in a few years. Some figures to consider for current house - 299k purchase price, 240k left on mortgage, could prob rent for 2250-2500/month, or sell for 375k. It’s in a desired school district, but in the “city” tax district.
