If the cost of utilities goes up 2.8% per year and my solar system is producing 94% of the year 1 production; the system will produce 9,851 kwh/yr, the cost of electricity will be 34c/kwh, and I will cash flow an extra $279/mo.Since there is no money out of pocket my cash on cash return for this system is technically infinite.So, not only can we advertise the rental as a "green rental" since we're saving the planet from carbon emissions and all... but we can also make a little extra $$$ at the same time!

You know I am fairly new to Real Estate Investing, but I can tell you that you are in the very best program on the planet-Biggerpockets!

Yo want no regulation or industry standards for the STR's, you're ok with this because it works for you, imagine now if the Natural Stone Institute had no standards or regulations for the countertops you're installing in your units and now you're emitting toxic chemicals for all of your guest, then take this scenario onto the plumbing pipes, now look at the flooring requirements, If everyone who has some sort of profit benefit in your Asset took the same position and wanted no government oversight or regulation in the name of individual tunneled vision profit, we'll be back where we were in the 60 and 70 with mass numbers dying from asbestos and lead poisoning all from renting your units.   

At no time and for no reason shall any dumping of trash, accumulation of refuse, orstorage of toxic or otherwise hazardous materials be permitted on the Property.

The good news Will is your fall on these isn't the worst fall on the planet :) You can still make them work and make up your losses with proper property management and good tenants.I am a huge advocate of higher-priced properties, and higher quality, for exactly this reason.

where the stock market anyone can invest and have the same results from any where on the planet.
