It would be nice if going organic with your food or Green with your new home meant that it was going to cost less.  But a set of solar panels on a new construction model locally costs $30,000 extra as an upgrade.  That seems like a luxury very few people can afford in this market.  $30,000 would go a long ways in paying utility bills as they are now.]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:26:57 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why do most lenders not recognize "Green" price adjustments on Energy Efficient / Green Homes by Appraisers ?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Going_Green/Why_do_most_lenders_not_recognize_Green_price_ad-94039]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some Lenders pretend to offer "Energy Efficient" Mortgages with expanded ratios for Energy Star & Green Homes ! However , these same lenders will not recognize the "Green" adjustments made by Appraisers vs. non-green & non-energy star homes ! It costs more to build Energy Star & Green ! The benefits are documented by HERS Raters & Green Verifiers and utility cost savings can be calculated by computer programs ! Yet another Green Paradox - we want you to build Green , but it just won't Appraise ! Wake up people ! There are very few Energy Star & Green comparables sold as Resales ! If we can't appraise the ones we build , then how are we supposed to build more ? Is Green only for the wealthy or high downpayment clients ? I hope not ! I'm looking for ideas - What do you think ? Keepin' it Green !]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Sun, 1 Mar 2009 08:10:07 PST]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[What does the green term LEED stand for?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Going_Green/What_does_the_green_term_LEED_stand_for_-138628]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Fri, 19 Jun 2009 15:56:49 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this market do you think green development will sell?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Going_Green/In_this_market_do_you_think_green_development_will-139356]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:04:32 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have noticed some new houses with copper roofs, is this a status symbol, or are they something new?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Going_Green/I_have_noticed_some_new_houses_with_copper_roofs_-139368]]></link><description></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:28:14 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[the  name of the owner]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Going_Green/the_name_of_the_owner-133260]]></link><description><![CDATA[same inf]]></description><pubDate><![CDATA[Fri, 5 Jun 2009 04:50:35 PDT]]></pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I wanted to look for homes with solar panels in Portland Oregon, is there a website I can search on?]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.trulia.com/voices/Going_Green/If_I_wanted_to_look_for_homes_with_solar_panels_in-123355]]></link><description><![CDATA[I would prefer to buy a home with solar panels instead of try and retro fit my home.

If the cost of remodeling exceeds the available insurance funding, then we're interested in a pre-fabricated modular home from a California manufacturer, which also built the modular unit using the same LEED guidelines. 

Please contact Jose Hernandez (323) 627-1674 for an appointment to view homesite, and for bidding on remodel or installation of manufactured home.
