If it's an REO they have to "underwrite it" (making sure they have everything they need), upload it into a system by translating a bunch of information from the RPA to the system the Seller wants and they have to follow up with offer (acceptance, rejection, counter).

@Dave T Hi Dave, sorry, my joke/sarcasm did not translate well! 

Keep in mind that the current incentives are subsidized, so while they may benefit the purchaser, that subsidy trickles down and gets passed back along to the masses.I strongly suggest that you research this heavily before proceeding and understand what a correct installation equates to and if the project can accommodate such... otherwise, you may only realize a portion of the system's ability.As for recouping the investment, this too should be researched... it's my understanding that the ROI takes a very long time to realize... and if I were buying a property with solar, and the price was increased because of it, I'd want to see documentation showing reduced kilowatt consumption and that usage translated into dollars.  

According to the bill they sent us, they've lowered almost $70k in value, which translates to about $2k saving on our property tax.

However, my full-time job in corporate strategy provides me three fundamental skills I believe will translate incredibly well to real estate:Quantitative analysis and model-building are core skills to being able to judge the value of a potential market / acquisition in my daily workMy daily success hinges on instilling efficient, scalable business processes and getting creative with incentive alignment to ensure everyone is working toward the same goalAs a strategist, my work on the above has zero bearing if I haven't earned the trust of those who must execute against them.

I'm an interpreter/translator down here as well as an MMA fighter.

-My poor wife had to be my walking Google translate!

Translation: If tenants wanted to pay higher rents they'd just move to a nicer apartment building.

I have a background in managing large portfolios and some of the leanings there may not translate to duplexes and 4-plex.
