It's funny you mention finding a junior broker or one that is more "green" because the one team that I do have looking for commercial deals for me actually delegated all of the "grunt work" like door knocking to one of the newest brokers in their office.

Thanks @Jaycee Greene. 

Our rates are going up because they are closing coal fired power plants and going for more green energy , which costs more . much more .

Well, guess who IS green today?

Quote from @Angelica Byrne: Hi @Jaycee Greene thanks for the welcome.

I ask if they are US citizens or green card holders, and I ask for past addresses for the past 5 years as well as any other names they used in the past (maiden name, nickname, etc).

Adding mass to the walls works wonders—attach Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV) to the shared wall, then cover it with a layer of 5/8” drywall using Green Glue soundproofing compound for extra noise-blocking power.

Quote from @Michael Klick: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: HELOCs are fine, but keep in mind that you really only want to use 50 percent of less (each) of your available equity just so you aren't creating a problem that you can't solve later if the value of your personal residences fluctuates.If you both have W2 jobs though, have you looked into getting qualified together and just getting a loan, 10 percent down each?
