Karen,I did play with the new "experience" section.  

The inventory that most street level folks are playing with just aren't the same assets and those piggybacks are fleeting in their market share.

I am just looking to create fun discussion and I am curious to see how some of the BP members are doing in REI.

I think you need some more reading before you try playing the game 

Fun!

@Carlos FernandezWe do not play-up the solar thermal SHW in our advertising.  

I've replaced 3 in the last year - two of which had to be engineered custom systems (30k+ not fun).

I submit that @Steve Vaughan is absolutely correct this is a very very dangerous play for the average person who has not demonstrated any ability to save money.. you just bury yourself in debt and if your deals don't go well... ( See many storied of first timers losing money) now your really Fubared ... you lost money and you have a mountain of CC debt which will absolutely hammer your once pristine FICO.Now if you have an AMEX black card with no limit or Very high limit say 200 to 500k well then go for it.

Only one side of the duplex is currently rented out, and to a Section 8 tenant playing a mere 800 per month.

I consulted other affiliates, so I'm aware of their goals.Human nature, many volunteers want to be recognized, a subdivision brings more recognition, also more money from donors and plays well for these types of organizations.
