I am curious for those who have done single family new construction whether or not you chose to invest in any sustainable design or construction strategies for your projects, or if you specifically chose not to.

I just heard the opposite about LV as well as California, with frothiness in both markets and sustainability in question.

Many rush in with no reserves or sustainability.

Sustainability (because we're a nation that imports more than we export and shipping empty containers to China takes fuel) might be another reason, but by the time all the holes are cut in the steel frame and the container has been modified to live in, the embodied energy in that little container (even after taking shipping into account) is probably higher than FSC-certified stick frame construction.  

It is hard to predict it but if you are trying, why not choose a city that has tons of jobs continuing to move there as well as a 50 year history of sustained growth.  

In short, as a Realtor I have access to the MLS which allows me to save time, more accurately determine comps, acquire tax and mortgage information not readily available approximate value to be approximately by these companies and that the information is not always updated in a timely manner.

And yes, it really does boil down to investing in a manner that will yield an average 20% cash on cash return. 

However, thank you for properly diagnosing my question and answering in an easy to understand manner.  

People who own generally take pride in their properties, your tenants should be socialized enough to keep their place in like manner with the neighbors. 

If someone now claims they have under those circumstances, I'm sure they are lying or the judge was related to them or the seller had the dumbest attorney alive.So, wholesaling as it is taught by the gurus has 3 areas of concern, all can cause you a greater financial loss than what you might be trying to make.Now, does that mean wholesaling is dead or can't be done legally, without risks managed, in an ethical manner?
