This way all your eggs aren't in the same "basket". 

Therefore, I keep my funds in cash until I find an investment.Andrew Carnegie said "The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket."

I've read some others provide information for the guests to be able to skim the pool and empty the basket, but curious what your take is if you have experience.

I want to be intentional with choosing a position that can build the foundation for a long and fruitful career.

A view upstream... inner workings of a hedge fund:1) Bidding, performing diligence, assessing risk, and taking down large pools2) Large scale asset management: Identifying low hanging fruit, where to focus resources, ROI targets, when to cut bait on an asset, KPIs, ...3) Servicing: When my servicer tells me what I need will take extra time because of three huge pools landing all at once, I wonder what the process of onboarding at scale and continued collaboration between the fund and the servicer looks like.

Additionally, having the network to tap into would be imperative as they prepare for inspections, contractors, and other key players to making their investment the most fruitful it can be.

My question is- after just having refinanced, would it be more fruitful to try and rent out my current home or perhaps renovate it and try to sell it at a higher price?

I see the fruits of my hard work in a way that my w-2 can't.

Never put all of your eggs in one basket. 

The average of these basket of studies show a value increase of $4/watt - so a 10kw system would be a $40K increase in value.
