And if you are looking into this just for the sake of saving the planet, 1. remember the solar industry is heavily subsidized, creating distortions in other areas, and 2. most of the solar brands manufacturing are not green at all, leaving behind a bunch of toxic byproducts + if you factor in the materials and energy consumed in the production of panels, they will never recover that during their useful lifetime.

Hi All,New investor here, but I'm a commercial property manager and house hacker so not entirely green.

I'm still pretty green here, I have one investment property in Texas that I was able to afford via house hacking, but now that my growing family needed to move into something bigger, it's time to get another investment property.

Would I be better off reading some David Greene books, I guess is what I’m getting at?
