Even TX may not be a good choice for you if your goal is appreciation.

My second is not the ideal and best choice but doable with the type of area you work with which is self installation.New hot water tanks are about $400-$900 depending on the need for the client plus any pipe adapters for the tank if needed as well as paste or tape for sealing the utility pipes. the package include instruction about installation which was not bad out of a 5 point scale of difficulties i give it a 2.5 or 3.
