Hi Everyone,I've been lurking for a month or two now and have been picking up a lot of knowledge from BP in addition to reading some great books.The Millionaire Real Estate InvestorRich Dad Poor DadThe Real Estate Investors Tax Strategy GuideThe Richest Man in BabylonBuy it, Rent it, ProfitA little about myself, I'm 28 and work at a large technology company in San Francisco where I do financial modeling.

TX is a great economic forward moving state...so I'm sure I will be doing more biz here than there, until economies change...and as we all know..they do change....I have some reacquainting to do in CT and relearn markets..how they have changed..re downsizing of DOD in area and upsizing of Casinos and associated markets....plus I'm seeing the push on technology in CT...could be positioned for some corporate growth..in the SW to Central corridor....but that is speculative at best right now...

@Michael James - I've thought about solar on my properties but for me, it doesn't make sense for the following reasons-1) Long holding period to recover you money....and technology is moving so fast that you're likely going to have to replace the old technology before it's paid for2) My tenants pay the utilities - it's not my issue and at this point, I don't see it as being a marketing advantage3) In some states (like Indiana) they are actually passing laws to repeal credits and compensation to those "feeding the grid" with solar.
