The bulk of my time and energy drain on this one was finding hardwood to best match 60yr old soft fir 'hardwood' flooring, figuring out how to blend old asbestos tile siding patches with something modern and the main drain and in-wall dryer venting. 

For a young family with more energy and muscle than money, it's a good deal.

I am thinking energy efficiency and water saving . 

Live in Lowell, buy two houses, save time, energy, money on your commute, and embrace the arts scene and cultureS-- plural emphasized.

Life settlements, oil\gas, energy\power, etc. etc. 

I’m new to real estate and have not done any deals yet but I wanted to see what made people chose where to put their energy into.

Total of 11 single pane windows and wanting to get energy efficient replacements .

You can also charge back electricity generated from the PV and act as the utility/energy provider.

  :)Good luck, lots to consider but in the end, hopefully just small inconvenience of time and energy until you are back on track to passive income.  

Perhaps you purchased a top-of-the-line boiler and your energy costs are 25% lower because of that...
