I'll be honest that until a few years ago when I was reading a home decor blog (nesting place) I didn't realize that many people rented single family homes.

Some of the green/energy efficient features include:-No VOC paint-Renewably sourced carpet-Hypoallergenic and ecofriendly insulation -Comprehensive foam insulation and sealing-EnergyStar windows-EnergyStar appliances-LED/CFL and energy saving light fixtures-WaterSense Faucets with aerators-Insulated plumbing-High-efficiency dual flush toilets-Nest thermostatWe will be conducting a second blower door test tomorrow to see exactly how much our end buyer will be saving in monthly utility bills as compared to the original house and the surrounding homes.

When your determination exceeds your fear you'll be leaving the nest. :)

meanwhile, you can be a private lender to other co's that are already successfully flipping and just collect your 12% while building up your nest egg for a bigger entry after the market pops?

Wanting to work on a few deals here in the Cheese state and hopefully have a big enough nest egg to move back and continue the business.

The first one is nest egg-reluctance.

I just don't know wtf I'm doing lol)I'm probably going to need to have a way bigger nest egg in case anything goes wrong or happens to the property, my job, or me while I own a home.I would appreciate any advice you guys have on what I wrote above or tips on how to inspect the property, what to look for, etc.Also if you currently live in the Milwaukee area feel free to hit me up.

What if there is a large repair or vacancy - without any other income stream or nest egg your father is going to be strapped and stressed.

-For the temperature, i heard that some landlords control with a NEST. 

In all of my rentals I use nest thermostats, and in 2 cases I have installed them and they started to malfunction.
