Hi, I have a 3 family property (built in 1900) that I purchased about 2 years ago and just recently got a home energy audit and in order to take advantage of the state of Massachusetts credit toward insulation of the unit, I am going to have to replace the below space heater because the carbon monoxide emissions are slightly above the allowed limit.  

Companies that are producing 5% dividend payouts right now are energy companies (for the most part) that probably aren't even able to cover their payouts with their free cash flow.

The rate is good and I don't want to waste any more energy on this, which is why I am just letting it go and closing. 

I don't have specific questions yet, but as I continue to get more information and input I am sure I will be burning some ears with questions.I only have one property in MA at this point and my son is handling it for me.  

I'd like to find out about all of the potential deals on the market and leverage the expertise of many real estate agents as opposed to one but I don't want to burn any bridges at the same time.Advice, please?

IMHO, the real risk to the real estate market are issues outside of real estate, such as our just-in-time food delivery system, energy, geopolitical issues and above mentioned issues.

Further more you will be in a turn and burn situation and the odds are they will not like your product as it takes more work versus end-user loans.

We're looking into that now, but I don't plan to invest a lot of energy in chasing the Title III rainbow with all of those strings.  

Money is energy that needs to be utilized.  

But I personally would never include energy/gas in a tenant's rent.I'm guessing you do still need to have some type of insurance for the unit, especially since you are financing.
