I personally try to minimize lawns because they are labor, water, and energy intensive, but thats up to you.

The amount of time it would take to get 15 people to agree on what pizza topping to get would eat up more time and energy than it would be worth (IMO of course).

It almost scares me, that the answer is so obvious that no one bothered to start a discussion, but I figured I would bite the bullet anyway.Assessed Value of a property for property taxes, should this have any indication of the sales price of that property?  

I've used my first time home buyer bullet, so now I need a new strategy.

I think it is worth taking a peak at in early to mid-April but probably not something to count on or focus too much energy on in the mean time. 

They are looking for investors also.I was fearful when I first started out, but I just bit the bullet and picked up the phone.  

Sounds like you dodged a bullet.  

I am prequalified for a VA loan and was offered to be part of the EEM program (Energy Efficient Mortgage).

Is it still possible to get closing costs refunded if I make energy efficient upgrades like windows/doors?

In April,2015 began drawing unemployment from a job in energy sector and am looking to get into real estate instead of going back to the 8-5 rat race.
