This part is definitely NOT a DIY project.You may also need to paint depending on how thick the smoke is and the type & condition of the painted surfaces.

I get it if he thinks you are visibly the party doing unpermitted work (ie actively doing anything other than plumbing) and he’s making sure you get your permits. 

Gallon of milk is up 20%, gas is up 20%, wages are in theory (lol) up 20%, gold/silver up 20%, bitcoin went up 1000% then dropped 980% 2 milliseconds later (good luck at that casino, and props if you win, someone has to), so it's up 20%, rent is up 20%, stocks on average are up 20%, you get the idea. 

This way each party is fairly compensated for their monetary contribution as well as they work they do in the business because those things will not always be equal or comparable.

For me it's an hour flight, I have friends in LV from all the years of hanging out and partying.

Lots of cities are adding their first big apartment complexes, so if you can get invited to that party (even as a limited partner), that's something municipal governments really want to make happen right now with us running out of land and having big housing shortages.

Sometimes delays can't be avoided but communicating in a timely manner so we can inform all parties is crucial

Having a third party in the transaction that doesn't have an emotional attachment is ideal, because they bring a dose of realty and keep other parties in check.

The first one had 25 cars on the property celebrating a birthday party.

The step up in basis, as I understand, is generally when all the parties with the interest in the property pass on --- there are subtle variations when dealing with married persons such as Joint by the Entirety (as its call in NJ as if I remember correctly).
