Very hard to ad one of these and make it pay unless it's within the existing foot print (basement or closet or small room).

The wife and I's game plan is to find a turnkey SFH and that we can do a little rehabbing/upgrading to, adding value over the course of 1-2 years.

I enjoy sharing knowledge, researching and brainstorming, so I look forward to adding value to this site and getting to know you all better over the years.

While it may have had the desired effect in regards to adding liquidity, the global reaction was that the dollar fell because it was devalued.

And continuously talk to people about what you're doing and be open to adding them to your network. 

Assuming you are getting cash out, since you stated as such in your first paragraph, I think this is a no brainer...once you look at 2 numbers:1 - Added cost out of pocket (higher closing costs) for lower payments = $21,0002 - Added cash out with lower payment option = $3,0003 - Total added cost (cash out of pocket) for lower pmt option = $18,000      Note:  This is money you have to recover before you are making any profit...so the added cash flow isn't a plus until this money is recovered.4 - Monthly savings (added cash flow) = $1655 - Number of months to added cost recovery = 109...or 9+ years. 

During the summer my days extend to about 6-8pm then on call.Due to adding 20 additional units my employer wants to redo my contract.

Please go spew your venom elsewhere!

In other words you receive a 30% tax credit on the solar system as well as a 30% tax credit at the least on the roof that is under the solar system (full roof 30% depends on the advice of your CPA).Couple that with the roof now becoming a producing asset and offsetting the utility bill instead of a liability and the increase in appraised home value assuming the solar system is not leased then going solar makes a lot of sense at the same time as replacing/repairing a roof.So in short you don't "get a roof if you go solar", but there are certainly advantages to adding solar to a roof replacement.

Most towns are very resistant to adding/expanding mobile home parks.
