Brent,You have to tell us your definition of "financially efficient".

I'm about to enter into an investment deal with an energy company in which I will be entitled to a 15-year income stream.

It makes you dependent on those assessed values being accurate and in my area they can vary widely for similar properties.Assumming the govt is efficient is dangerous.Over many properties, the averages might work out, but the problem is that you are going to try to cherry pick the "best" deals where the values diverge the most.

The problem with focusing on 1 of those "1,000,000 Seemingly Important But Really Nonessential Things Newbies Stay Up Late At Night Worrying About Before They Actually Do A Deal" questions is that you have an extremely limited amount of energy/time/money/effort to put into your new business.

Even if that's the entire profit from the first deal, if you believe this investor has the knowledge, experience and skills necessary to teach you the business, it sounds worth it to me.And clearly he believes he can help you, as he's risking his time and energy with you for potentially no pay-off (if there is no first deal for you).

This can be my city or another city that you feel is really getting negative energy but has the potential and movement of a positive energy shift for the better in the city.

I'd be interested, I don't have anything to advertise other than my collection used Rockstar Sugar Free Energy drinks that I've signed and stacked up in the hallway bathroom's shower.

Now I do my best to pre-qualify sellers before committing my energy and attention to a deal.And there are probably more...

For this there may be no "fix" type of solution until a magic way of converting solar energy into electricity at high levels of effeciency occurs, so then it shifts into preparing for the eventuallity.
