If you were to look at the HERS (Home Energy Rating System), where a house built to the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code scores 100, and a true Net Zero home would score 0 {but ironically could be nowhere near that efficient, but use solar, geothermal, or wind to generate electricity as an offset}, an EnergyStar or LEED home would score around 80 - 85, while a Passivhaus would score in the range of 20 - 30.  

Chicago has been attracting a high number of international buyers.

Hi EveryoneI am an international student, and I have being investing in Real Estates in the past, and will like to try to do so in US too during my time studying here for passive rental income.

The internet or internally as a mortgage processor?

They are attracted to small town/rural living (and the generally good schools and very low crime rates that come with it) and they (at least one member of the household) works primarily from home.As more and more people work largely on-line (and that really is something close to inevitable; the internal and external costs of the current "commute to an office building" model are hard to justify) then more and more people will be able to live in whatever environment they like.  

We would calculate Principle reduction, Tax benefits, Cash distributions and Appreciation combined as IRR - internal rate of return. 

Yes, exploiting the national (and international) footprint is a key marketing strategy for the big nationals...

So if anybody has had prior experience with this or a small business they would like an Intern for, I would happily oblige. 

When your "WHY" is so big, so strong, so internalized...you will sacrifice anything and everything to succeed.
