Happy Earth Day from all of us at Low Tide Private Lending!
While we love a good profit margin, we also believe in doing our part for the planet. If you’re a real estate investor working on your next flip, Earth Day is the perfect reminder that a few eco-friendly touches can make a big difference — for both the environment and your bottom line.
Why Go Green on a Flip?
Today’s buyers care about more than just countertops and curb appeal. Energy-efficient homes are increasingly in demand, and incorporating sustainable features into your projects can:
- Lower utility costs for future buyers
- Boost your property’s marketability
- Help increase your After-Repair Value (ARV)
- Make a positive environmental impact
It’s a win-win — for your buyers, your budget, and the planet.
Easy, Budget-Friendly Green Upgrades
You don’t have to install solar panels or completely overhaul a home to make it greener. Here are a few simple upgrades you can add to your next project:
- 💡 LED Lighting: Energy-saving bulbs use up to 75% less energy and last 25 times longer than incandescent lighting.
- 🚿 Low-Flow Faucets & Showerheads: Reduce water waste without sacrificing pressure.
- 🌡️ Programmable or Smart Thermostats: Helps control heating and cooling costs — a great selling point.
- 🧺 ENERGY STAR Appliances: Energy-efficient appliances cut down on electricity usage and appeal to eco-conscious buyers.
- 🌳 Native Landscaping: Use drought-tolerant, native plants to reduce water usage and maintenance costs.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Adding even a few of these features to your next fix & flip can set your property apart in the market and attract buyers looking for homes that are both beautiful and efficient.
Plus — it feels good to know your investment is leaving a lighter footprint on the planet.
