There's a federal tax incentive:A taxpayer may claim a credit of 30% of qualified expenditures for a solar system that serves a residence located in the United States that is owned and used as a residence by the taxpayer.The LADWP (Los Angeles Department of Water & Power) also offers an incentive which comes in the form of a subsidy for the electricity you do get from the grid.

I have a condo unit that had water damage to the ceiling of the master bedroom.

I have been in the real estate industry for just over two years and started dipping my feet into the waters of real estate investing since the beginning of the year.

I definitely would NOT turn the water on now.

6 unit building has 1 roof, 2 furnaces, and 1 hot water heater.  6 single family homes have 6 roofs, 6 furnaces, 6 hot water heaters....So from a repair perspective, which would you rather have to deal with?

If a tenant moves out or you have a water heater or AC unit go out you will need the reserve. 

I do have one reservation about 50% bleach/water.  

Not sure whats going on next door, but they have had a fire & water restoration company come in recently and have put this outside next to their house.  

I have my neighbor watering the lawn and its seeded nut of course new lawn is something else.Thanks again for your help

Also the hot water tanks are electric.
