When I did this two months ago they knew nothing about the new Title 24 energy requirements (mainly 1.5-2kw PV solar mandate roughly $4k after fed tax credit) that go into effect January 1 nor the new assembly bills (SN 13 then as yet unsigned).

Here are five ways to increase cashflow:-Application Fees-Pet fees-Washer and Dryers-If you are responsible for electricity, have a company make an energy assessment of your properties-Turn some of your units into short term rentals.

For real estate, I liked both of David Greene's books. 

Second, this business requires attention to detail in planning and execution -- so misspelling "realtor" shows that, like many of us, you sometimes let the energy take you a little faster than spellcheck can keep up with!

Also in Iceland we have little over 300k people in the whole country and not too many properties for sale, except in the city which is way too expensive for me.The medium house cost in my city (and the only city in Iceland) is equivalent to $700.000, the market here does not make sense at the moment and I'm looking to invest in other countries, does anyone have any experience in that field that can give me any tips?
