Got one other question....I'm buying a house with composition shingles and I'm planning on adding a portico entry to make it look like a Spanish mediterranean so I'll be re-roofing the entire house.

Most taxing jurisdictions do not have a separate classification for Patio Homes.The term was first seen in print in the mid-1970s.[4] In a more generic sense it may refer to a home with a prominent patio, such as some traditional Mediterranean-style homes.[5]There is often confusion about what a patio home or cluster home is, and how it differs from a townhome.A townhome generally consists of three or more units with shared walls in a single building, and the townhome lot is limited to the ground on which the unit stands and perhaps a small rear patio area, with no additional private land.

For the screen door issue, we decided to bring pics (samples) of secure/sturdy screen doors to the next meeting and perhaps settle on 2 or 3 possible options so that we keep up the continuity, they didn't like my black security screen door option (since the home are Mediterranean style, I thought it'd would look nice, but I'm willing to see what the group offers, so we're attempting to come up with compromises thus far.

I'm a little bias because I run a software company (Tortoise and Hare Software) but just make sure you hire a professional. 

You have to be the tortoise not the hare.

When you find one, it will be better for you than winning the lottery.Saw this in a head-hunter's office on a past job search: "Consider the tortoise who makes no progress until he sticks his neck out."

Flipping versus rentals is sort of the same story as the tortoise versus the Hare... where the tortoise wins in the end by being slow and steady. 

Tortoises eat rabbit for dinner.

And she says that the population of Rome, scattered out into a series of mini-Rome's in the Mediterranean, as the food supply of Rome, turned more precarious.

There’s good points sprinkled in the Bier Stein bears, VeggieTales, the three little pigs, and The tortoise and the hare.
