What about solar on the roofs to reduce tenant costs? 

Try and have them bid " apples for apples".1- Windows   , Vinyl, Low E.2- Six panel doors and no jambs but new trim.3- two tone paint, these two colors.4- New bathroom vanity, toilet, and remove old tile with new tile. 12' X 24".Etc , etc.Brent is smart and great article, I am just adding my point of view from a seasoned  Re- hab contractor!               

We had to take out a wall, replace all paneling with sheet rock, re shingle the roof, and put in new flooring.

The land's mineral rights owned by previous owner and there are mines all over the property.the drilling company states that they will work with her but that they can exercise their rights at any point to get the Kaolin underneath the surface.Client trying to see if any way to gain money from the land (since vast, there is space between the mines).Not owning the mineral rights, she will most likely have difficulty obtaining financing so she is looking for short-term, relatively low cost ideas while she pursues the longer term possibilities (currently thinking about developing a solar farm).Beyond hunting lease, any other suggestions?

I just watched the NAHREP Top Agents Announcement and Panel and was inspired to start connecting with people who are more seasoned than me and at the top of their game.

Make sure you look at the electrical to make sure it’s not knob and tube as well as the breaker panel.

They are scared of the potential bill and will hopefully keep the use down.Going foraward I believe the only way to go is solar.

Solid advice from the panel.

We remodeled the kitchen and bath, new lighting and hardware, refinished hardwoods, replaced the fuse box with a panel, replaced galvanized lines, painted throughout and partially finished the basement.
