If the Note is retained (I believe there is about 3 years left on the balloon) what are the option of how that Note can be leveraged to generate capital for more Buy & Hold purchases?

When she couldn't scam HUD any more she turned her remarkable and prodigious energies to scamming me.

Don't forget to take the Energy Star credit on your tax return.That may be a bigger bang for the buck than the allowable depreciation or hoping to get away with a deduction :)

If you have the time and energy I would go for it.

Since concrete generates heat during the curing process temps can hit mid-20's and be ok, but below 0 is the issue.

If you own quite a bit of expensive land this would seem to be something potentially fairly lucrative to generate some extra deductions for those paying high taxes.

Form a landlord perspective, we are not renting with utilities included (a big plus ... we are also able to assign the water/sewer to the tenant in our SFH student rentals) and, as an added bonus, it allows us to track the performance of our buildings following the completion of a deep energy efficiency renovations.

Not having any experience in this I'd say, how much time did it take you to generate the leads?

I would ignore the tax assessment and the fact that there are no good comps shouldn't be a factor as this is an income-generating property, not a personal residence.

We have a couple of student houses which are probably the most energy efficient and amongst the classiest {for a student rental} in "universityville".
