Hi Mitch,
Thanks for the comment. I’ll elaborate hard numbers in a future post.

The long and short of it is that there is a myriad of programs available to real estate investors who pursue energy efficiency. Further, the demand for ‘green’ features for buyers or renters continues to skyrocket, while inventory remains low.

Thanks..jim

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your comments. In my next post this week, I will detail out a specific project so you can see hard numbers. It seems like others would be interested in seeing that as well.

Thanks..Jim

Great Post Jim!
I’ve been pitching Investors about Going Green for almost 3yrs now. To add to your excellent post. Most States, Counties and cities now have Green programs in place that will also benefit Investors and in some cases pick up part of the rehab costs. I’m currently working with the city right now as a showcase partner, to retro fit and rehab older homes within the up town historic district. Having access to a Certified Energy Auditor and/or Contractor is a must. They also have all the forms and info you will need in applying for tax credits and rebates etc. You may also find, like I have ,that the city will give you preferential treatment, when it comes to getting approvals and expediting permits etc. It’s turning out to be a win-win (niche’) for now market.

I’m not convinced. This article is far too general in tone. Give me some hard numbers and some of the hard choices made in this featured “green” project. And then tell me how it translates to expensive and over-regulated California, as well as 48 other states.

I really like this article. Hopefully it will be widely-circulated.
