The husband accepted this lien from Veterans Affairs while being ill-equipped to do so due to his severe PTSD.

I really like how you worded all this Tyler; it's very intentional, methodical, no ego and all learning.

All that being said, there seems to be rather over-the-top and ill-informed postings regarding converting these notes to equity.

@James KersonYou've stirred up a lot of agents haha.I'm with you on your intent of this post.

No to very little crime no worries with water or food borne illness's  etc etc.  

For context, 4 adults and all our tech living here, we were running about $250/mo on average per month for electricity anyway... outside of summer a/c useage. so all in all, its saved me about $2k a year if i had to guesstimate for you (it stays hot here through October usually).i still owe about $23k on mine, have no intentions of selling the house. but if i decide to move out and rent the whole house out, our market would support higher rent in exchange for no electricity bill. i think you just need to decide what YOUR main benefit of having the panels are. for me it was for the house-hack, and consistent billing, despite the usage. if its strictly for property value increase, i'm not sure it would be worth it, pending your specific market. 

And if any speak ill of it there billed a Nazi Fascist Bigot...... 

It isn't some sort of secret bastion against all ills.

If his intention was to rip people off, wouldn't it eventually catch up with him and he'd go to jail? 

I purchased a SFH in 2022 that I'm in the process of turning into two units with the intent to rent out one of them while continuing to live in the other.
