I'm still amazed that Green Bay not only has one, but it's a thriving franchise. 

Eventually, i would like to be renovating older urban homes/buildings into extremely green and efficient homes/apartments in new urbanist ( is that word?)

At the most a years seasoning is all you would need so that the note is not viewed as "green" anymore.

In my market, there seems to be so many investors watching the MLS that ultimately one or two green investors will overpay or are willing to settle for a small profit.

If anything, they would be the first people I would think of that stick to the motto "all money is green..."

Assuming even the broker has the best intentions in the world you still have a duty to yourself to learn how to do some due diligence.You sound like a very green investor and I would suggest likely too green.

@Jay Rock @ Andre Green I know this post is old but I'm working on trying to put together a flip deal in Brooklyn as well.

I plan to expand my knowledge with the virtual mentors I hope to gain here, and share my experiences as well as meet up with local Houston RE Investors.I'll let you all know when I get my first green house on the board.

or didn't understand the concept, even when I explained it.Thanks,- Josh Green

How do you do that, green screen?
