Can you see the green showing through?

But.....the best laid plans have often been stopped in their tracks (wee funny) due to special interests, the uneducated and highly capitalized and the truly green yet clueless environmentalists.

I'm also having trouble finding any number on this green earth to save my life.

These can serve as back up exit strategies.For example, once you have a reliable tenant with cash flow in a property, you can find a buy and hold investor who will be much more interested in the property, since they'll be spared the trouble of finding a tenant for it.You can also owner finance the property and then sell the note to another investor.† You can sell part of the note for cash now and have income later or sell all of the note at once.If you're having trouble finding local investors, online auctions can offer your property to a potential global market.Even in a soft market some homes will still sell at or near full market value.† Of course, you don't want to incur six months of holding costs waiting for your price so you have to get creative to make your property stand out.† One way is to "Go Green".† A few touches like solar hot water with a tankless water heater back up and adding rain barrels to the downspouts in order to maintain landscaping inexpensively even during drought conditions can put your property ahead.† Everyone likes ideas that save them money and if it is good for the environment too that is an extra bonus.

I am VERY green when it comes to real estate investing.

This areas can often allow for more height if your development is say mixed-use or its a green-building, etc.

ThanksHope to see you in paradise!

I noticed, ever since adding curb appeal to the property, this can be as simple as having green grass and nicely manicure, I been getting less no shows.

The hole was there becuase the blades from the lawn service companies would rip the green tops off of irrigation wiring ducts (I guess that is the best way to describe them).About a 3 months ago, my neighbor informed me that they had sent a letter to the hoa stating that they were seeking compensation and that the hoa had responded with a letter stating that is was my resposibilityand not theirs.
