I'm not saying I won't ever represent myself, but the commissions aren't relevant in the grand scheme of things to me because there's plenty of money to go around everywhere if you're doing this right. 

You aren't getting reps in the field.

Therefore Bill & Jane's vacation house in the Hamptoms or the ABC Company tenant 10,000 SF commercial build out is ahead of your development.Robert- If you do have the correct Architect for your project, then the problem is: they aren't incentivized to change anything.

BUT we aren't alleging either that we have 38 children, that we're both half Native American, or that one of us served in a war that ended before either of us were born.

Once you're able to analyze the existing condition of these 6 systems, you can then source piece rate pricing from sub contractors or a GC -- this may be done by quantity, day rate, etc.

I agree with Kevin-give them notice that you aren't going to renew the lease. 

Obviously, some of these businesses and investments are doing well so a successful business doesn't imply that the owners aren't shady, which was one of the points I made.

You may need to lower the rent you are asking for by a bit, but it is way better to have a tenant using less water because they're the ones paying for it, than having them run the water for hours since they aren't the ones paying for it.

You left out information that maybe relevant such as taxes/insurance per year, maintenance cost anticipated per year... plus other expenses depending on rental such as management fee(if you aren't manager), advertising cost to acquire renters, etc....

I think clean, nice finishes that aren't too flashy or unique is typically the best choice, especially in the price range you are looking at in Boise.
