I am sure the price of lumber will go down when mills can operate at full capacity again and transport of that lumber is not as limited. 

As far as energy return on investment/ EROI (how long it takes for the panels to offset the “embodied energy” it takes to produce, transport, install them), the better panels are under 1 year and the worst are 3-4 years.

Ideally a 2-3 bedroom house near access to public transportation / infrastructure have been the easiest to rent.

It is 100 feet from public transportation, walking distance to the lake, and in an area that has been appreciating.

Bus stop is right outside with easy access to transportation to Discover's facility (3 min CTA ride) or 11 minute walk.

Finding a home in a desirable location (close to public transport, walkable or a short drive to grocery/shopping, etc.) is key.

The excavating contractor company, which did all the remediation work, produced a PA Unregulated Heating OilStorage Tank Closure Report to show that the work is completed and met the state requirement.

I mean meeting the client in the house while the agent arrives in public transportation, which is really good around here, buses getting everywhere every few minutes.

California has some of the highest income and corporate taxes in the country (regardless of brackets), highest housing to income cost ratios, 13th worst K-12 education, worst homeless population in the country, and an over regulated political/legal environment to name a few- The government continues to take our money and provide little in return, poor education, poor roads, traffic, and transport systems (high speed rail failure), failing social services (rampant homelessness), poor oversight (EDD Fraud).  

or is it simply better access to public transport?
