Rod is an ACTIVE mentor, which takes a lot of time/energy. 

You could create an operating agreement granting one of you the powers - but it is a fair amount of energy/time/activity for someone to manage and find deals.

See below:Survey (8-10 weeks) Request Permit Prints from Design Team (4-6 weeks) Site Plan and Septic Design from Design Engineers. (6-8 weeks) Need survey back to start designs as this is site specific Energy Docs (1-2 weeks) Need plans from Design Team to make request.

Leaving stuff unresolved, with anything, especially divorce, is an energy vampire that is always hungry. 

@Les Jean-Pierre Had Section 8 tenants and got a bunch of energy upgrades through a state program.

I won’t try to tell you what to do other than if there’s certain properties that just consume way more energy you might consider 1031ing them into slightly larger properties where you could get better economies of scale for your time and expenses.

A person who has spent his 2000 to 4000 minimum CPA practice hours doing foreign currency conversions at Deloitte for a Belgian energy company may not know the first thing about real estate or anything else.

Didn't get his $3.2mm; but that was shooting for the stars and the interest rates just went up.He gets his $310k downpayment back. 

Also, check if there are incentives or rebates for upgrading to more energy-efficient systems in your area. 

Quote from @Nate Sanow: Yes I own two that are near 100 years old and I will tell you they are a pain in the you know what compared to all of my post WW2 properties especially post 1980… layouts are better in the last 50 years and energy efficiency is better and I can keep going… HOWEVER to reply to the other aspect of your question, I’ve found appreciation is better with older properties in areas of the path of progress.
