What's a fair amount, well that depends on what this is actually costing you in terms of actual expenses plus the time and hassle involved.

I'm working towards Energy Star in my new 4 unit build because it's fairly easy to get slightly above code and cheap to have the raters come and certify you with the Energy Star label which would add value for the tenants especially for people with alergies or aesthma. 

I’m fairly rural.

Personally I prefer investing locally in my own markets (I invest in about a 75 mile radius but would still consider up to about a 2 hour drive to be fairly local).

@Don KonipolI think that is a fair statement. 

I can't speak to going rates on a business loan but I would think that is a fair rate for a 35k loan and 5 year term.

I will also note, that having loosely followed them over the last few years, their team listed on their website has grown fairly significantly.  

His team apparently hires the coffee farmers and provides them a good job, fair wages, health and pension benefits, etc.

I see a fair amount of positive feedback on the site, but most of it seems to be several years old, do people still find this to be a good place to look?
