@Julie Greene,  can you please refer me to the contractor you hired for the job, if you still remember it? 

I would like to buy a single family rental and turn it into a green house.

If you are truly trying to build a "team" to help you with your investing, sit down with them and tell them you're green but have goals. 

I currently work in the Energy Efficiency (Green) field, which is a growing field, but working for others just isn't for me any more.I will be successful in real estate investing, because of my drive, work ethic, and heart!  

If you are relatively green to REI that is a great service!

By evaluating like this you can red light green light very easily and create benchmarks to quickly eliminate the losers and see the winners rise to the top.  2.
