Although I am making decent money right now for someone who just graduated college, I am contemplating leaving my job in the near future about 1-2 months from now to devote all my energy to wholesaling.I have been consistently marketing (cold calling) for almost a month now to vacant absentee lists.

Talk about awesome energy and drive from Rock!! 

Keep your energy high and mindset positive.

I'm not sure the electric bill would be higher, as central heat & air is usually more energy consumptive than a window unit. 

I get calls all of the time from agents who have buyers that want to "Just measure the curtains" or "Wanted to see the Basement again to see if a pool table will fit" or "want to count how many energy efficient light bulbs they need to buy" or "To see if their camper will fit in the garage"The answer is always the same "I'm sorry we are unable to accommodate that request due to everything going on at this time".

This property is a major problem and a huge project, it is going to take lots of time and energy and stress.

I bought the building in June and will be looking to do a cash out refinance as soon as I can  to extract the ~45k I put into it and dump it into another project.I got a MassSave (energy savings program in Mass) audit done, and they quoted around ~10k for insulation.

Assuming that you’re not in the more rural parts of the county,  you are likely to be met with quite a bit of opposition if you attempt to erect a wind turbine large enough to supply energy for the whole home.As for the self-sustaining generator -I am no physicist, so I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that a completely self sustaining generator is theoretically impossible under the current laws of physics. 

Unfortunately, the Sutton Power station ash ponds are significantly (5x to 6x) larger than the Dan River ash ponds according to NC DEQ Inventory of Duke Energy Coal Ash Ponds and Wilmington is significantly more populated than Eden NC, the site of the Dan River breach. 

We also have all high efficiency mechanicals, so the energy usage isn't much.The reason I asked about a garden is because invariably, green-minded tenants love to garden.
