Because the energy industry has always been skewed by government involvement, it's actually quite difficult to compare the cost of different methods of electricity production on a consistent basis.

But it's not necessarily the score that's important, it's the other details on the credit report - what other kind of debt they have, how consistently they pay, etc.So, my $0.02 is to always run the credit report.

@Lisa Kattenhorn I hadn't seen it, but it's not surprising, that's probably one of the things they threw the Realtor PAC to make them happy.It's also consistent with what I know about fair housing enforcement; years ago I was told (in a fair housing class) that owner occupants are expected to obey the "spirit" but not necessarily the "letter" of the fair housing laws, because they will have to live next to whoever they select.I'm certainly not an attorney and that was years ago, but it does make a certain amount of sense.

I'm OKC loyal all day long. 1% rent to value ratio is easy to find with the right connections off-market. 1% taxes, 60-80k for C class which pretty consistently provides 8%+ cap rates.

You are correct, if your portfolio consists of properties that are all negative, no one will lend to you, no matter your net worth.I have just tried to "pour gas" on investing over the years.

Consists of two apartments and a 500 sq foot office area with two separate offices and a small kitchenette area and a powder room.

A good farm needs frequent and consistent attention.
