Who decides what fair market value of the renovations is if he's not giving you a bid and charging you?

As to "(if) we don't run out of water" I'm betting that one of two things will happen sometime in the future, 1) it will be decided to pipe the Columbia river from Washington the way oil is currently being piped across continents, or 2) a process will be developed to desalinate seawater cheaply or a process will be developed to bring moisture out of the air which can currently be done on a small scale.

Me and my lifelong best friend have decided to team up and tackle real estate investing together to make millions. 

I started out the same way and decided to go with a pm.  

Is it a good move or would it hurt down the road if we decide to buy a home ( which we are planning to but still couple years or so ) The reason we are not buying right now is i would like a decent home and then stay in that forever and at this point i guess i am just not ready to buy my own.thank you

There are numerous part time agents in this area doing in excess of $3 million annual volume.I know this comes down to my own goals and risk tolerance, but do any of you have an opinion or advice when deciding who to go with?

I mainly was needing help deciding on whether to start a fund or raise equity on a deal by deal basis and where to start raising funds (HNW individuals, RIA/placement agent, Family offices, PE, Institutions) Below are my summary notes.

I'd take the SATs that way if you decide to go to College you can go without any setbacks.

I have clients who are doing well with this buy many decide it isn't worth the potential headaches.

I wasn't willing to move out of town to house hack, so I decided to purchase my first home and put as much sweat equity into it as I could.
