Thank you all for your valuable replies!

@Mark Holencik , the roof is covering a 1000sqft house.

The installer is in the business for 30+ years, I need to find out if he's going to contract the job out to someone else....

Hi Experts,

I am filing an insurance claim on a roof on one of my rentals in central texas. it is a 15 year old 3-tab shingle roof with a bunch of wind and hail damage.

the insurance will pay for the roofing job, but the roofer mentioned to me that he can put architectural shingles on the roof instead of 3-tab for just 500$ extra which the insurance will obviously not cover.

from some research , I see that architectural shingles have a longer life span and more wind resistant which will perhaps save me money in the long run, however , I am not sure it's worth it as roofs are replaced due to hail damage pretty frequently in this area (once in 12-15 years) which is well within the 3-tab shingle life span.

I'd love to hear some advice from some people with experience in the field, as well as any roofers or contractors that know a thing or two about roofing and hail damage in central Texas.

thanks! 

HI,

I just started learning about Real Estate investment, an I feel the passion!.

I am reading the material here , and also some books and webinars from various places I don't want to be stuck in the learner's stage forever and already eager to find my first deal.

MY questions is, what do you think is the absolutely  set  of fundamental  concepts and material that a beginner investor must know before he should leave the 'learning phase'

thanks!
