The water service has been shut off on the property due to freeze damage. 

I've been studying it for a while now and just now starting to jump in the waters.

Maybe the property had water damage? 

The front needed some work and I wanted to know.......how do I do that in a way that renter proof and is not qoing to require me to go out there all the time to water.

@Jennifer Streamer  comparing Kelowna to Detroit or any big US city is kind of funny.But I do remember the gang shoot out at the big hotel on the water... crime in Kelowna is relegated to biker gangs like hells angles etc..

We have already claimed success in planting the seed and turned it over to God, now it is up to us to water the seed and let the magic work! 

There's a federal tax incentive:A taxpayer may claim a credit of 30% of qualified expenditures for a solar system that serves a residence located in the United States that is owned and used as a residence by the taxpayer.The LADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water & Power) also offers an incentive which comes in the form of a subsidy for the electricity you do get from the grid.

I have a condo unit that had water damage to the ceiling of the master bedroom.

I have been in the real estate industry for just over two years and started dipping my feet into the waters of real estate investing since the beginning of the year.

I definitely would NOT turn the water on now.
