Seconding what @Jonathan Greene said, you have a powerful tool for house hacking when you get back.

Thinking about doing the same (for my solo 401K) and considering Rocket dollar, equity trust, broad financial, etc.

RE investing definitely isn’t rocket science.

Particularly power related tools since those are usually discounted for Black Friday. 

I originate the AIO and it is a powerful tool in the right hands.  

Tacky.Your power outlets and switch don't have covers in the pics.

I agree with other responses here, and to piggyback on them it seems everyone plans to 'own forever' when they sign a 30 year lease or finance term, and then things change (job, relationship, life events, etc) and folks try to sell the property with 25-28 years left.Banks do not look at power bills when determining DTI, but they will look at a solar loan/lease. 

That is to say that I've experienced the incredible power of an appreciating market and that makes it very tempting to want to keep my current house, rent it out and let it appreciate.

Makes sense.Update - so we went to do the inspection and the power was off. 

Louis, consider specialty providers like Powers Insurance, St.
