-OR- Detroit is where you land if you want to make a name for yourself as an investor in one of the many emerging neighborhoods and want to be part of the energy of rebuilding one of America's greatest cities. 

Dump this drain on your energy and find yourself an agent Rockstar, work the MLS but also dabble into what @Charles Carillo mentioned and start reaching out to Owners (not mls active listed).

Dealing with people takes time energy and patience.

@Fareed R.these will vary a bit depending on which market of Lake Tahoe you are in (South Lake, Incline, West shore, Tahoe City to name a few) as the utilities could be a huge range depending on the age of the property, its size, energy efficiency, and amenities offered.

They don't want to invest time and energy into training you to be a traditional real estate agent if you're going to go out and become independently wealthy, creating wealth through real estate investing.Good luck!

Apartments/condos are more efficient from a material and energy use standpoint but may cost more to build in your area if there are no contractors used to building larger multi-family projects.

Prior to wasting any energy on diving deeper into a market or running the numbers on a property, it is critical that we have a good understanding of the local ordinances/restrictions.

I'm very late to the game - but just wanted to say that I love your energy!

You’re 19, so time and energy are two commodities that you possess.

The only energy efficiency financing on a national scale is Fannie Mae's Go Green loan program (https://multifamily.fanniemae.com/sites/g/files/koqyhd161/files/2019-10/go-green-flowchart.pdf).
