Like most of upstate New York, it is economically depressed, but the prices of houses there are often so low it's tempting to just jump in and buy one.Thanks for being on the website.  

There are some great websites that serve investors well providing useful information.

In person, fax, email, submitted through a website?  

I live in VA.Enter Bigger Pockets: I literally stumbled on the BP site a few months ago and though I want to get into the REI game, she is actually in it, so I told her to check out the website and that she could fill the apartment herself using info we learn from BP, and I could help her, remotely, from VA.What I have done: I have followed all of the suggestions regarding tenant screening and had two showings to qualified parties, neither of whom followed through with process.  

Coincidently I was on the exact same Course's website just about to hit the purchase button when I decided to go to BP to see if there were any references for the course material and found his post.  

But on the POF letter theres contact info with an office address and web site.

Is there a web site or even a tool on Bigger Pockets to be able to figure that out? 

@Ken Barrett Thanks for the Info I did look into local distributers but also found a website that list quite a few here it is maybe someone else will get some good use out of it.https://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?
