I'm a wind energy engineer with a few real estate deals done, moving to the White Plains area, and looking to learn about REI, and house hack into another deal.

It's a pretty safe loan to make because the cost of the system is nearly always covered by the energy savings, if not more (assuming the proper math was done during the design phase).I was initially going to use this company for the bulk purchase of the systems: https://www.wholesalesolar.com/solar-panels

Being that I'll only by 38 when I "retire," I'm in search of opportunities to capitalize on my energy, work ethic, and honesty to bridge the gap to the next chapter. 

I work at an oilfield company now known as Gravity Oilfield Services (formerly Globe Energy Services).

People are lazy, granted you are in Florida, so the weather is nicer, but in general, people don't often take dogs for walks, or exercise them, so the dogs don't have an energy outlet, which IMO translates to chewing and destroying your house.   

Here are the bullet points from their website https://www.fanniemae.com/content/fact_sheet/manufachousing.pdf PM me if you'd like to learn more, I'm familiar with it.

Yeah, I don't think I'll dedicate too much time and energy to the "Nick" brand development.

1) Basement Bathroom waste discharge needs setup2) Replacement of improper basement "escape window"3) Insulation of exposed water supply lines outside of both basement windows to prevent freezing pipe damage4) Replacing the utility room door with one more appropriately sized and bringing it forward to touch the concrete to minimize water entry5) Repair open seems noted at second floor balcony to prevent water damage6) Repair backyard sliding door which does not close (safety hazard for forced entry)7) S-trap in upper, lower master and half bathroom sink waste lines need repair to allow for proper drainage/venting.8) Boiler condensation drain line installation needed9) Repair leaking pipe in utility room to prevent water damage/mold10) Door does not latch at front entry (safety hazard)11) Unable to lock windows at upper living room repair needed for security/energy conservation

Both are inevitable, but because I know this, helps me to constantly research and be proactive in trying to see what I may have to do before it's too late.I'm not too knowledgeable about the DFW area, but I would also keep an eye out for it's future industries.For instance, if Oil is one of those industries in the Energy Sector, then knowing how oil is being affected by thinks like Peak Oil and competition with renewable energy that is not already located in your area which keeps the economy going, I would certainly stay on top of that.

I know plenty of people in higher end rentals that remove the garbage disposals, it just depends on how much time and energy you want to invest in them.
