110517 Energy Wise House Flipping Rebates and Incentives

Financing Options Tonight we'll hear about some special financing options. Jack Frost will share about special opportunities available in and around Sacramento plus some other opportunities that are available state wide. When used together these financial boosts can add up to nearly the whole $20,000 of profit that we were shooting for. Definitely worth taking a look at. One of the programs that I hope Jack will review for us includes either 0 percent or 3 percent loan funds available just for the energy package. We don't have to do anything that we haven't been teaching all along. The only requirement is to ally...Continue Reading!

Retrofit Wall Insulation – Multiple Choice 110628

Best Retrofit Wall Insulation It has long been known that fiberglass batts (the insulation used in 97% of existing walls) performs at a much lower R factor than what is stamped on the batt.  And allows lots of infiltration as well. So what's a PlanetSaver to do?  Our new construction colleagues can just specify and do it right in the first place (although most still dont.)  In the retrofit market we would rather have an un-insulated wall, because then we could dense pack it with cellulose insulation... a pretty good solution.  In our targeted age range of home (30-50 years) most...Continue Reading!
