@Mary Mitchell well simply run it more efficiently.

My sub-specialties include: energy efficiency and high-performance construction design/execution and residential rehabs and remodels.I am hoping to connect with local/active investors like yourself who can appreciate the years of experience I can bring to the table to help you efficiently and profitably flip homes.

If not, what is the most efficient of applying 35 cent live stamps?

@Krista VolpeSwitch to an electric heat pump they work great can be reasonable to buy and operate very efficiently much better than dirty expensive fuel oil

See: https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-solar-power-new-homes-20181206-story.htmlAs real estate investors, building/home owners, rehabbers and flippers, those who play in California will, come January 1, 2020, be competing for potential renters against much more energy efficient homes, “Super-homes”!

It was also the first deal where we had to raise equity and gave us a better understanding of how to raise equity efficiently and effectively.

In order to really stay above my competitors and serve my owners and tenants, I'd like to continue to use technology and efficiencies we've implemented in order to really be better at what we do and set higher goals.I really do not like the idea of loans, I've explored the many offerings and daunting possibilities to go into debt.

Any ideas on how I can be more efficient here.

Nice primary residences seldom make the most efficient rental properties. 

This is a spherical horse in vacuum or the 'efficient market' which does not exist (hence all last Nobel prizes are about behavioral economics) .
