As a solar energy consultant for SolarCity I have been working with portfolio investors, helping them add value to their residential rental properties with clean solar energy, without tying up any cash flow.

I think bullet point #8 is the interesting part.My questions for those of you with more experience are:1) Is this what I've heard called "a wrap"?

It's a great strategy by having a larg amount of cash at once (when you sign off) and time off between ships to put your energy into investments.

I came stumbled onto a company that are in the business special if you looking at houses using alternative energy.

I just hate to see all that energy put into such a low probability strategy.  

It may be best to bite the bullet, begin the process immediately, and be prepared to have an vacant apartment through the new year at least.  

Developing is also another option, with a scale of doing 20-25 projects at a time, I think you can easily get a bank to give you a shot.Construction is not where I want to spend a lot of time and energy on.

Banks are more likely to put their time and energy into an organized entity.

Love the energy here, hope to meet some creative geniuses!

I can also get solid, 7%+ returns with a couple of oil and gas companies and bet on rising energy prices, but I'm separating stocks, REITs, and notes from real assets that I'm purchasing.
