@Robert Burns I agree with @Sean McNamara, the 20 year filter is most likely the factor.

I met guy who got an old mobile for free and let the local volunteer fire department burn it to the ground for practice.

The added cost of required flood insurance and windstorm insurance would be better suited for small energy efficient properties.

It does not require a large amount of effort on my part which allows me to focus my energy on the various aspects of Real estate investing.

The difference would come from the fact that you can dimm the lights which means less energy consumption.Regarding installing a dimmer switch it's installing exactly the same as a regular one, nothing extra.

It's about my loved ones, spending time and energy with them.

I can feel your energy through your post.  

As others have said, unless you have deals in the pipeline right now, you're going to potentially burn through the first 3-6 months without seeing any deal close.I would take the package, then immediately turn around and find another job that at least covers your expenses but isn't too demanding on time. 9-10 months of salary as a lump sum is a great bankroll for your future investments, while you still have some w2 income to help qualify for loans .

We place a ton of energy and focus on providing the best support anywhere, and are proud of the quality of support we provide.

I know that I'm a little late, but if you guys want to rehab the home, we could do some creative financing situations where they can finance some solar panels and other energy efficient items, as well as complete rehab.
