@Charlie FitzgeraldPaying a lender off in full once you decide you no longer want to do what you said you would do is what you are supposed to do.Incidentally my first nomadic owner occupant flip, I tried to call it an investment property because that seemed like the box it intuitively best fit into (I still feel that this makes the most sense at a 'common sense' level).

Electricity prices are increasing quickly, so this change sounds counter-intuitive when it comes to improving the average citizen's quality of life, even if the environmental impact is positive (also not guaranteed).
