As Southern California has a reputation as a healthy, clean-eating population, you would think that, as we sheltered in place, we would be keeping ourselves sustained by placing delivery orders for healthy salads and juice.

I hate to restrict myself to any market.In short, focus is the key here, I need to put some thought to it, a rough goal by Dec 2020 might be to own another property and have all doors rented and managed with scalable systems and processes in place.I wrote a bunch more but let’s keep this short I do need that focus, I get on task and then begin expanding and expanding until I’m writing about a smart city 100% self sustaining sitting on a massive geothermal plant  and utilizing other tech and renewable sources, getting all residents tax refunds due to excess energy leak into the grid. 

Find a place with a good combo of natural and social sustainability. 

Joel, That about follows my read on the situation - though I like to distinguish between energy efficient and "green" as there are a lot of other elements in "green" certifications such as LEED or Passivhaus which deal with the sustainability of, and embodied energy in, materials.

I don't think either of those things are beneficial to market sustainability, improvement, or overall health.

Hey all,I'm new to the forum, so this is my first discussion topic.I am very into the sustainability movement, personal and professionally, and am hoping to 'green' up my town home and any future properties.I wanted to see if anyone out there that has a buy and hold and/or are landlords have added 'green' features to their rentals?

The second way is no doubt more profitable, but maybe not sustainable.

It is hard to predict it but if you are trying, why not choose a city that has tons of jobs continuing to move there as well as a 50 year history of sustained growth.

What the hell do I know, but I think that the acquisition of property at a substantial discount that very very few people have access to is the most difficult yet most essential part to building a sustainable real estate business.
