Renting Solar Panels
I'm getting ready to move (and will have to move again in 1-2 years due to military orders) and was looking to buy a SFR or duplex to convert to a rental when my tour is up in the area. When looking I found a house that looks somewhat promising, but currently has solar on the roof that the seller is renting and the buyer would have to assume. So my question is what would the more experienced landlords do with this property? Would it be wise to assume the solar contract and have future tenants pay for it? or try to find a way out of it? or not even consider the property? The current owners say it saves them a net $60 per month.
