Those above are correct - you cannot alter the lease given it expires in 2021.

STAGFLATION: Again, stagflation is price inflation with high unemployment and low demand/spending translating to little or no real economic growth (adjusted for inflation).

Higher occupancy which translates into higher profitability.

Price per sq ft does not translate 100%, or at least I have not seen that in other neighborhoods.  

Not sure if this applies to Kansas as I'm in Georgia, but interested in Wichita, but in speaking with an investor who buys all over the country at a Meetup a while back  she stated you don't actually own the property until after the redemption period, so therefore you can't perform any material alterations to the property as it's not legal yours yet.

Curious... do you have a link showing the requirement(s) pertaining to window replacement (Alterations Level-2 here, NC Existing Building code)?

If they are illegal, or more importantly if you think they are, they may not be.My last job was a contractor/translator where it was pretty much me, my boss the superintendent, and about 45 non English speaking workers doing a 22 story high rise.

Well, agree with some of what's been said above, most have the right idea as to the applicability of the NVP analysis.Drill down, the NPV is searching for the value of a project (better to say use of funds) over time and translated into present dollars to compare to other alternatives.

I apologize for probably not wording this extremely well, but for for example if you were a teacher, contractor, police officer, attorney, IT specialist, engineer, etc etc etc...How have you been able to translate or transition knowledge from your previous field into your investing career?

for you as the landlord...Maybe a nice benefit that you can use to raise the rent, but if a renter has a choice between two units that are equal in every way, but one is $150 more a month because of the solar panels, I bet they'll go for the less expensive property...They'll think they're comparing apples to apples, when in fact you're offering apple plus a little extra.....I know that in theory they'll save more on utilities, but it's a variable saving and it might not translate well when they are looking at rent only.This also might have to raise your percentage when considering cap ex when trying to determine if its a good deal or not.
