I also send cover letters and flyers to every welding school, instrumentation school, and refinery in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, and Alabama.Amenities:  Washer/dryer and laundry detergent, kitchen with all appliances and utensils, cable tv in every room, wifi, sheets blankets and towels, soap, t.p. paper towels, outdoor grill. 

Many people rent out rooms, apartments or homes nightly without going through proper channels but I wouldn't do it without having a good plan-B, in case your neighbors are not really cool with it. 

I stumbled across a website that seemed to have an pretty cool program, it was a Saturday Morning Investment Tour (http://www.gimmeshelter.com/saturdaymorninginvestmenttour.html) .

Since the new lending rules have taken effect, I have heard that my price range has cooled down a bit.  

Pretty cool.

I would not expect such a significant downturn this time around, but it might be best to keep looking until the market cools a bit.  

While most Net Zero buildings are energy efficient, perhaps even highly so in comparison to minimum building code requirements, there is nothing requiring them to anywhere new the efficiency level of a Passivhaus   .... this is why you will see odd things like warehouses with large rooftop solar installations being able to claim Net Zero.On the other hand, Passivhaus sets three metrics which a building must meet to be certified as Passivhaus compliant:  The building must have a heating and cooling demand of not more than 15 kWh/m2 (4,755 BTU/sq ft; 5.017 MJ/sq ft) per year  and a peak heat load of 10 W/m2.Total primary energy consumption (energy for heating, hot water and electricity) must not be more than 120 kWh/m2 (38,040 BTU/sq ft; 40.13 MJ/sq ft) per yearThe building must not leak more air than 0.6 times the house volume per hour (n50 ≤ 0.6 / hour) at 50 Pa (0.0073 psi) as tested by a blower door.Ironically, the research and pilot projects which fuelled what eventually became the Passivhaus standard was carried out in Saskatchewan as a National Research Council (NRC) project in the 1970s (the house is still in use today) and a similar project (Minnesota?)

Cool.  

Totally cool if I do.... hahaThanks for the help! 

@Ricardo CardonaBuyer's list are cool but with no property they are almost useless.
