I was pushing it down people's throats consciously selling.I had four rental properties in the UK and family and friends respected this.

I'm always conscious of not "blowing sunshine up anyone's skirt", so I find that one a bit puzzling.

And of course, if economics is not the only play, there's the environmental factor that is good for our own conscience and could be marketed to a tenant who cares about this stuff.One good thing that solar does is, whether you decide to go solar or not, is that you will be on a path to make the houses more energy efficient; better weatherization, stop leaks, better insulation.

It has 0 VOCs, which keep the odors down and is more environmentally friendly than many.  

I think the best and most objective source to date is the PWC Emerging Real Estate Trends report.There are reasons I chose not to go with Austin, Atlanta, and other hot markets of the sort after looking deeper into the environmental factors.

If they are acting like this when they first move in they might (I say might) have a guilty conscious and they may suspect they "bought the rat in with them" but are trying to overcompensate by "overreacting".  

The environmental ones are the ones that can get out of control: mold, lead, and asbestos.  

If a tenant initiates a rent payment each month they are conscious of their bank balance.

I live in California where the Democrat policies have been in full force for 60 years, with massive government funded programs that give our tax dollars to pedophiles, ex cons, drug addicts and alocoholics under the guise of disability, free educations and priority to illegal immigrants, government unions demanding unsustainable benefits and wages, higher taxes a constant theme on our ballots, environmental regulations that require 8 different grades of gasoline throughout the state (which raises prices), hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland that cannot be farmed due to the Dems putting water for smelt over farmers, car registration fees so high that many lower and mid income people (especially the unemployed) are losing their vehicles, a community college system that is so top heavy it now takes 4 years for kids to finish a 2 year program for transfer to a university, and much much more.

I also carefully think about everything I write to a tenant and am always conscious of what kinds of things I want to make sure I give tenants in writing.
