And no green house gas.now granted you have to make the power but we get a lot of ours from Hydro.What I have seen in the Mediterranean is every home has a BLACK hot water heater on the roof.. no need to power it for hot water.. we should do that in our desert areas.. of course in cheaper areas they may get stolen like condenser units do.

I'd like to put "black stainless" or slate appliances in.

You can't hack a house and stay within the local zoning ordinances because the term "house hacking" implies you're black hat.

I did earlier on other posts, but for some reason I can't vote on JaysI think they may be black balling me... ????? 

The black and white answer is that you need 25% down to purchase on an investment property.  

Put it all on black baby!!

I don't think we black guys are meant for this climate!

My personal experience too and this is for those that do not plan on owning them forever and willing them to your kids or next of kin at a stepped up basis.but for those like me that were thinking hey I will own these 7 to 10 years take the write offs then sell retail..I did all that sold retail but what I was not thinking about is that a 10 to 14 year old home even though I bought them brand new.. to sell retail   what was acceptable when I bought them  tile counter tops  black appliances etc etcnow retail buyers standard is granite stainless  new paint 3 colors floors perfect etc etc.so it was costing me 20 to 25k per home to do a retail up grade to sell them for retail prices.. along with cap ex ( which in my case was minimal) since these were only 10 to 14 years old.. but then roofs being replaced because of hail that cost deductible.. and so on and so forth.. the cost of owning and keeping these nice is just more than you can raise rents in most markets.. that's my experience I got top rents in the day but they never went up much during the 10 to 14 years of  ownership.. just like I see modest type rentals that rent for 700 to 900 those rents have stayed pretty constant for the last 20 years .. and prices to fix stuff has gone way up.. 

There was black slime in the guest bathroom.

Bright aluminum is always available, but if you look around a little, you can probably also get dark brown or black, if that matches your shingles better.
