110927 Portable Task Management

Portable Task Management Laptops, Cell Phones and Tablets Tonight we'll discuss an essential aspect to our or any industry, namely time and task management. In the past we've reviewed our use of SmartSheets, a great online project projection and delegation software. More important still is the use of daily portable task tracking devices and software of which I've been a high end user since the debut of Palm Pilots (back when Dave's "palm" pilot was aSharpe). I currently use 3 different programs for long-term, daily and incidental tasks. Join us as we review and discuss several hardware and software options.  Looking forward to your feedback on what works...Continue Reading!

110920 Getting Top Dollar On Renovations

Getting Top Dollar Profitable Renovating Ideas You may have seen his presentations at ACI or the 3 part documentary on his own home in Home Energy Magazine. Larry is one who has really lived Building Science, and has since before it became popular. Like me, Larry did real estate and landlording  several decades ago and got out of it... until recently when the "Perfect Storm" of opportunity that we have today with foreclosures, lower prices and low interest got both of us to jump back into the game. Larry brings a unique blend of Home Performance to his projects. He knows he can't do everything...Continue Reading!

110906 The eMonitor

The eMonitor Energy Performance Monitoring Tonight we will look at another idea who's time has come...  The eMonitor (and other similar power monitoring systems)  Isn't it time all new houses (and quality renovations) come with these systems installed? It has been proven that just knowing where we are losing money has been able to modify usage to reduce consumption by an average of 20%. This is more savings than many renovations and the cost is less than almost anything else that can be done. The good thing is that monitoring impacts customer behavior much more than mechanical equipment. GreenEarthEquities is planning to start...Continue Reading!

Including “Wow” and “Energy-Efficient” Improvements on “foreclosed” homes can “increase” investor ROI’s.

"Wow" and "Energy-Efficient" Improvements Improvements on "foreclosed" homes can "increase" investor ROI's   Lipstick flippers are leaving profits on the table and missing a golden opportunity to leverage current bargains on foreclosed properties and the opportunity to improve the energy-efficiency and comfort for future homeowners and renters. Investors "typically" use all cash to acquire foreclosed homes and generally limit improvements to the minimum required to expedite a flip transaction to a subsequent owner. Annualized ROI's are based on the total amount of capital and the time required to complete the "flip" transaction. The lower the cost and the shorter the completion cycle the higher the ROI. Dave Robinson and Green Earth Equities have created a better mouse trap and Investors are beginning to...Continue Reading!

Home Performance Why Do We Make It So Difficult?

For example, the above photo which Rogelio sent me from his phone ... of the final blower door number for our project on Homsy Ave ... it's a simple number but it's all I need to know that we are well on our way to a top performing house.    All we need to do is tag a few more bases like this and...Continue Reading!
