My best ROI has been press coverage (investors seek you out if they read about you in the paper), followed by meeting people by attending conferences, participating on expert panels, and giving keynote speeches.Advertising...maybe someday...I hope!

Unless the water piping splits at the meter and the wiring is already separated with two panels it could be very expensive to split.But maybe you'll get lucky.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be extremely difficult to seperate the wiring, relocate the panel and add a meter to the apartment (the basement is one large basement divided between two units).I'm wondering if anyone has ever added an electric meter to a house?

Solar panels would be a good idea.

Originally posted by @Wayne Brooks:Curious what your $35k was for if it didn't include this stuff, sounds like a full rehab on both units, and still that seems like a lot.Its for 1 bathroom remodel, new appliances, LVP throughout the bottom of 1 unit 1500 sqft, fixing panels on side of house, 3 doors installation, new counter tops and back splash, painting front of house, fixing broken concrete ldge on front of porch, and a few other small things.

They came out and measured then ordered a new low-e dual pane panel and l ater came out to the house and replaced it in like 15-20 minutes.

The roof is 12:12 (except for an 8:12 dormer on which we put solar panels) and we have 2" insulation board as part of the roof deck, and closed cell foam on the inside (the rafters are only 2x4, so we needed to go outside to get the R value). 

I am interested in getting solar panels for the home and am wondering how that affects my tenant's utilities bill.

I was impressed by the professionalism and wit of the panels.

It had its own 60 amp sub panel in fact.
