I wonder if even 10% of the people using the environmental argument have changed all of their indoor and outdoor lighting systems to LED, are recycling water, have changed their water heaters to tankless, have installed solar, and are using water and energy efficient items in their houses?

I’m not looking to make real estate my full time job or anything that intense, but more tools to get me to financial independence sooner are always welcome, and this is something I think I could be good at. 

For example, we finish the basements with indoor/outdoor carpet (instead of LVP, which makes it feel a lot more homey), because we know parents go nuts in the winter if they can't send the kids downstairs to pay - or have a space for the guys to watch the game on Sunday.

It's my belief that because of the age, maturity level, number of decision makers (parents & their child) that it is one of the hardest niches in buy and hold investing.

It's a really high-energy dog and I don't think they take it out often enough, so they play indoors a lot.

Other equally contributing factors you want to consider is the properties positive cashflow, asset appreciation over time, debt service paydown over time, as well as hedging your dollars against inflation - all of which make real estate such a great investment especially when you have the right property!

I’m established in my career and not looking to make RE my full time but I don’t have a ton of capital and I enjoy modeling and underwriting and being hands on with management so the passive/syndication route isn’t an option.

I had to replace the old laminate counter top in my LTR because the previous tenants had a coffee maker that leaked right where the diagonal seam was, and the water buckled the laminate over time.I had to put in a new laminate counter top because of time constraints.
