Hey @Kizzy Williams, I know these investment hot spots very well.

The same company HotSpot Energy has heat recovery units that can heat domestic hot water.One trick I learned when I did it though was to return the heated water from the heat recovery unit through a tube that extended down about 6 inches or so into the tank through another port in the top of the hot water heater instead of injecting it into the normal hot water heater outlet pipe.  

Having been involved in real estate investing for some time now, I've come to realize the incredible value that like-minded individuals can bring to our journeys.Austin is undoubtedly a hotspot for real estate, with opportunities and challenges that are unique to our city.

Where I’m at, which has solid jobs but isn’t a luxury condo in a tourist hotspot, I make more with less hassles charging like $600-800/mo per room with a security deposit on a lease, plus split utilities (so they have an incentive to not run the AC/heat like crazy - my other smaller house with included utilities is going on 4 months of $550/mo electric bills while the first with shares utilities is $250).

Tourist hot spot.

Great opportunity for appreciation in my opinion this is a new hotspot!

However I see some turnaround potential over there with the close proximity to the hotspots that have already gentrified Gordon Square, Tremont & Ohio City.
