Ive thought about water efficient toilets and aerator faucets and shower heads.

What's the best and most efficient way to get information of what houses are selling at in the foreclosure county auctions.

The good thing about old cast iron radiators is that they're usually way oversized and the boiler can run a lower water temp and be more efficient.

What is the best way to communicate with your team and what options do I have?

@Jaysen Medhurst I appreciate the input and I probably didn’t communicate it well but I’m more looking for creative financing ideas when you have people willing to work with you, but do not have much money to put down.

I just got a triplex under contract in Tacoma, Washington, and during my VA loan process I learned that I can get up to $6k in energy-efficient improvements attached to my mortgage.

I personally think it's great to take care of things yourself as a real estate investor (especially when you're starting out), it will help down the road with communication when dealing with people who you hire once you've got more valuable things to spend your time on.

You need to pay far below market value for the deal, bring an efficient rehab process to the project, and have your total all-in cost to be considerably less than what it's value is. 

Just like in basketball or football the game is all about speed, efficiency, and execution (value provided.)
