Green Rentals- A View from the LandLord



Will my Green Rental Property make the grade? Will all that work and investment pay off? Is there a market for green rentals? Is it possible to still make the finances work while doing good for the planet and my future tenants?

Putting money into a rental to make it more energy efficient is a tricky deal. You put in the money, and the tenants get the lower bills. Will it be worth it? We hope so!

As a Realtor focused on green homes, and the life-long treehugger of the family, I get calls regularly from folks moving to town but not yet able to make the purchase. They want to rent while they get used to the area, and they want Green.

What did we decide to do?
There is some basic low-hanging fruit that can easily make the rental more green.

We'll talk about that Next! For Now, Enjoy some eye candy-
