And to get the #’s most people want, would require more doors (higher quantity), and therefore more time/energy intensive mgt issues.

Myself and the Rent To Retirement team put in over a year of our time, energy & dedication to produce a comprehensive and detailed investment course we possibly could to set new investors up for success.

As for cost, my nuclear-powered Duke Energy NC Residential Service (RES) costs $0.11661 per kWh.

Why would you spend all your time and energy trying to convert her into a good tenant, knowing you're unlikely to succeed?

Has anyone worked with a lender who has actually closed an FHA, VA or Conventional Energy Efficient Mortgage?

You are young and you have energy, so work a lot while you don't have any other commitments or people depending on you.

I would focus your energy on that flip.

Insurance is WAY cheaper for a new build, as are utilities, because the newer homes are more energy efficient, and also have less need for immediate upgrades. 

I’ve started this journey with the end in mind (positive energy only) 😊

I know for us, the CPS gas and energy bill can easily skyrocket, so I may consider asking tenants to pay if bill passes $200 or so...still thinking on it.
