Post: Tax credits and home improvement Funds NYSERDA

Hello all, 

I am looking for information in regards to tax credits from NYSERDA. I am also looking for information about tax credits, government programs, and grants in general. I did some research on the .gov website but couldn't find definite answers. I would like to replace hot water tank or even possibly go tankless. My biggest goal is to reduce the cost and find a program that may help pay for the repair. This information could also apply to my furnace as that is old as well. Thank you! 

(Specifically National Grid if it helps!)

Quote from @Theresa Holl:

Garrett - here is my honest feedback as a marketing pro.  I just searched you here and on LinkedIn and can't get a strong sense of your personal brand or contact info.  I'd suggest at a minimum that you link to your website in both places and on FB.  Once you've done that, make sure the website connects emotionally with your ideal client.  What do they want?  Why?  What are they afraid of?  How do you make all those problems go away?  The sooner people know, like and trust you (and can reach you) the better.  

As far as generating more leads, you'll want to crush the SEO game on your site as well, even if it's a simple landing page for dirt cheap.  SEO is just a blog loaded with the words that are trending on google, related to your work.  You can find and analyze performance of the right keywords here: https://trends.google.com/trends/

To provide more help, can you please let me know where your ads link to?  I can peek at that website and provide you some pointers and hot fixes as well.  

Because this is my only property and I’m house hacking is a website necessary? If so what kind of content would it contain? I currently just have Zillow/apartment.com listings and Facebook. I also post to my instagram as well to find a tenant

Hello, I have a 3 bd 1 ba. I finished the remodel and am looking for tips on marketing the property. The property has been listed for about 2 months. I have spent about $100 boosting on facebook marketplace. It's also listed on Zillow and Apartments.com. I placed a sign out front as well, because the property is placed on a busy street. Please provide any tips or websites that can generate more leads.

Hello! So I have a few questions for the BP community. I am currently trying to learn more about depreciation. Is the speed at which the property depreciates faster for larger properties? Is the standard 27.5 years regardless of number of units or building size?
