I have a small house which I am planning on tearing down in a few years but in the meantime am planning on living in. In the case of this house the land value is greater without the house than with. A neighbor has already asked about buying the land and has no interest in the house. If the property were sold to someone else I am sure they would build a larger home.
We had some driving rain this past week and the roof leaked. The shingles are at the end of their life span. Are there any short term fixes rather than spending money on a new roof? I am only looking for two or three years of life extension.

How many layers of shingles do you have now?
And how much do appearances matter?

Option 1.
Patch the bad spots that leaked and/or are on life support.
If I go that route (reshingle) I will probably DIY it.
If you can do an overlay yourself, I think that's your best option. Trying to figure out what areas are leaking and patching or laying felt paper is a waste of time imo. If it was a few months maybe, but not a few years. I'm assuminig you don't already have two layers of shingles, I wouldn't do a third.
Can’t compare the price of rolled roofing to shingling.
Huge different in price with both material and labor.
Not any color choices, pretty much black.
