If after 18 months I don't do this, then the loan is re-amortized and the monthly payment would increase.It seems like a good deal, and an easy selling point to a potential buyer - "hey, your energy bill will be $100 each month even in the winter, and then once you've paid off the panels you've got free energy!"

One of the reasons I decided to make direct RE investments was to provide a hedge for volatility in our portfolio.

(I don’t do STR deals so my comments are more about long term buy and hold residential RE.)Data by its nature is historical - it’s a lagging indicator. 4 years ago the Southeast was the place to be.

I really appreciate the suggestion to engage local RE investment groups with this question which I plan to do.

This will primarily effect tenant's sales and your ability to re-lease when tenant moves out.You have building risk: primarily, how easy will it be to re-tenant if your tenant goes dark or leaves.  

I have only done a few deals but the thing I constantly having to remind myself is R/E is a long game. 

The price was low in 2014, today that same price is riduculously low, and the buyers in 2014 improved the property tremendously and recently re-sold for $230,000, good for them!

🏡 MASSIVE transformation coming near downtown…🏙️With one of the last areas to develop near downtown, the neighborhood just south of Empower Field will get a massive upgrade 🏟️The stadium district master plan is only 10% done, but will include a mixture of housing options, jobs, game day/special event experiences, and more.When this 58 acre space is developed, it will re-shape the landscape of downtown once again…

It’s probably better just to invest in SP5000 or QQQ.With the current interest rate, commercial RE is in big trouble.
