My in-laws live in NoVa and got owned to the tune of about $20K by a contractor who pretty much messed up his entire scope of work, violated his own contract through-and-through, then threatened to take THEM to court (I had no idea of any of this until later :-/ ).

For my home I try to clean the panels two times a year in the dry season (Mar to Oct) and I have had an inverter fry.  

For the condition of commercial finance NOT to be taken into account and discussed is like saying a group planned a mission to Mars and never discussed bringing food and oxygen. 

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I know my post about a $100M deal was a little out there, but you chose an end of the spectrum that couldn't be reached with a Mars rover!

We're not building more land and we haven't colonized Mars (yet) <enter Elon Musk>.

If you know of any geoups or meetings in NOVA pleas let me know.

OTH, if you are the Mars Chocolate Corporation and you buy sugar futures to control costs in the future, that's investing.Investors who leverage deals, flip contracts, take options and other endevors are really "operators", they facilitate functions that produce an income.There are statutes that describe "operators" as those who take title to RE and produce an income.

Good evening BP communityThrough some research on the forums here, I came across a review of Rebogateway for the NOVA area of VA.
