Inspect before offering
Ten-year owners cannot defer anything.
Because we are still going to own the roof in ten years.
A buyer intending to resell within months can defer almost anything. A buyer intending to hold for a decade cannot: the roof, the electrical panel and the air handler all become their problem, so they get examined before the offer rather than discovered after it.
In Florida that focus is specific. Roof age and wind mitigation drive whether a property is insurable at a sane price, flood zone changes the economics entirely, and additions built without a permit become the new owner's problem the moment the deed transfers.
The letting side follows from the same logic. Turnover costs more than almost any repair, so fixing things quickly and pricing renewals to keep a good tenant is not generosity — it is the cheaper option, and it happens to be the decent one.
Ten-year owners cannot defer anything.
The paperwork stays with the property.
We buy for ourselves and say so.
