However because of Covid and the rising material prices is eating up a lot of the budget that was supposed to go to our solar panels so for now we will not be using those but I think we will still be satisfied with our energy consumption

I believe the deductions on your equipment stem from the depreciation and from the consumption of fuel, repair parts, etc - in other words, these are things that lose some of their value with their use.The land is not deductible because it is classified as non-depreciable.

I ran all the 240v electric to the hot tub & it's always set to 96degF with it being adjusted higher during use, yet the electrical consumption is not noticeable.We do not use anything other than Eco-one to treat the water, but I throw in a cup of chlorine after heavy use.

So  "I can spend half of it on women and alcohol....

Choose your social group with great care, you will become them - When I hung out with alcoholics I became an alcoholic, when I started hanging out with wealthy investors, I became an investor (who might someday become wealthy lol) 

And the problem is that tenants will do laundry for others or other high consumption uses and use a lot of water. 

Not a alcoholic infested flop house. 

In terms of best bang for your buck when it comes to energy consumption for heating or cooling, it won't get any cheaper than fiberglass insulation.

It was a win/win because with my guests going to dinner with a $50 gift certificate they felt like they were getting their meal paid for but the owner of the restaurant once told me that my average $50 gift certificate holder would spend a minimum of $75 while they were there on extras like appetizers and alcohol purchases that were typically big mark up items for him.

I actually had help from someone who reached out to me - trying to sit me down for a cup of coffee to learn about real estate investing - and since I don't drink coffee or alcohol, I countered with asking him to join me in picking up these cabinets.
