I play the piano and am already very self conscious about my neighbors having to listen to me practice.

Legally, one is 'saturated' in that all rehabs need to cover a myriad of environmental concerns.

@Karen Margrave Personally, I think that you're combining two functions in one space, which will consciously or unconsciously confuse people.  

Nothing flashy.When we take my wife's little car to look at property or go to a meeting, we are conscious of it and park around the corner. 

I love being environmentally sound, but I draw the line at an outside bathroom.

The other stuff is just a conscious decision to assume more risk to grow my portfolio with these cheap cash flowing properties.

With a manufacturing facility changing the use sometimes can be tough due to environmental issues with the site from years or decades of use.Might make more sense to keep it as the same use with a new tenant unless you get a federal,state,county grants and waiver of development impact fees then it might make sense if demand is their for the changed use.If it has environmental issues sometimes the states has a clean up fund.

The good news is that the energy saved by using this stuff will offset the its environmental impact in 3-10 years depending on how much and what type you use.

I think it's not allowed in some states, and I don't like how environmentally unfriendly it apparently is, but it was essential.          

Of course, I am VERY price conscious on what I am being charged for labor and materials.
