They were selling the veneer for Birdseye paneling to Lexus and Infinity if I remember correctly.

The appraiser is right, statistically the resale value of rooftop solar is extremely low.

I work full time as an analyst in Atlanta, but have a background in finance and briefly studied real estate investing in college and would really love to get started on the side. 

I graduated from the University of North Texas (UNT) in May 2018 with a BBA in Finance, and I started my first full-time job as a commercial credit analyst in June.

Was able to reduce electric about 60% through energy efficient upgrades, and then put rooftop solar on the place (going in now, permits for commercial are a pain in the @$$....Will nuke out the power bill, just have a few bucks for connection fees.  

@Chris Seveney I’ve never seen one of their reports so I can only say read the terms in fine print that accompany the report.

Hello, I recently graduated with a degree in Finance and Real Estate which gave me a lot of experience as far as understanding the numbers, finance, and business side of real estate but I do not have much "hands on" experience as far as fixing appliances, home ownership (I've rented up until now), etc. 

E.g. my background is in finance and my partners have backgrounds in marketing and engineering.

Leasing rooftops or securing roof licenses can be a very complex endeavor.

Deal overview;Purchase price = $350k. 4,000 sqft, 5/4 that had an in-law suite above the garage, complete with a tar-pit (I mean pool, but you couldn’t tell the difference), hurricane damaged roof with inside water damage, two kitchens that needed appliances/updating, 2,300 ft of flooring needed replaced, $45k in city fines that we had to navigate (settled on $1,500 in fines, title company assured me that would be the case, but I was still apprehensive, glad we listened) and lots of granite, paint & fixtures!
