I still might go solar here, but I'll be sourcing all of the stuff and installing it myself for the learning opportunity. I'm actually leaning more towards wind though. I did the math on a micro-hydro system at my parents and it wouldn't work out well. I can generate about 65 watts continuous, or about $57 in electricity per year.
I'm looking at buying a house in Silverton, but the market is at all time highs despite an interest rate that has been moving up. My plan is to always keep the houses I buy and rent them out.
... I read an interesting article about the advantage of not putting 20% down on a house to avoid PMI. It basically gave the opportunity cost argument.
