Personally if it was me I would do it. Double pane windows offer reduced outside noise pollution, and are energy-efficient. I know in my area they off tax incentives for energy efficient upgrades, and from what I've read you should receive a good ROI. I came across this website that will show you cost vs. value report for your area. Maybe it will assist you in your decision :)

@Paul Timmins Thank you for all the info! I will definitely be looking into all of it!

@Travis Boyer I couldn't agree more! This truly is a college town with roughly 7 colleges within a 5 mile radius. Thank you for your input and I will definitely add listening to the podcasts to my "to-do info" list.

@Jon Holdman thank you for the link! I have downloaded and saved a hard copy to my computer. This will be my next item to read and learn from!

@Marlon Wilson thank you!

Hi! My name is JoEllen and I currently reside in Rolla, MO. I am a complete newb to all of this, and for now, just searching for any information to begin with.

I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3 totally awesome boys, and wife of an extremely hard working and loving husband. I've always dreamt of being able to own RE and make a living off of it, but through misconceptions and vague explanations I was steered away thinking I couldn't do so without large sums of money and good credit. Currently my interests lie with flipping house, wholesaling, buying and renting foreclosures, tax liens and anything else. I just need someone to point me in the right direction, as I feel I'm doing circles at times, lol.

Luckily I'm a Facebook fanatic and came across an ad for BiggerPockets, otherwise this all may have still been just a dream. After creating my account, I surfed through some of the forums and have already purchased "Flip Deals: Real Estate Profits on Steroids" by Jackie Lange, as suggested by another member. I can't wait to really dive into the book and get some more insight on how this all works.

Thank you to all whom respond, I'm really looking forward to newer beginnings with new people and ideas!!
