One other thing, that makes a BIG difference when you update an older kitchen is to use invisible cabinet hinges rather than the old style visible hinges.

They are correct and I'm sure they have tons of great knowledge and expertise that they are more than willing to share with you.Have a criteria.

Hypothetical case, One of your trusted high value Property Developer client has approached you with planned and approved site plan for prime location project for valuation which will be used for various Financing considerations.OrYou are an expert valuer with a leading Housing Finance Institute where you are assigned a long term clients planned and approved construction site details.Submitted Plan allows 100,000 sq feet construction to Developer; but you too have acquired planning expertise over years of experience, and you figure out in reality client can construct 116,000 sq ft.Will you highlight it to your Client in your valuation report or otherwise?

@Eudith Vacio I'm applying for the RE agent for the knowledge, expertise, and network.

I currently have a primary residence and a rental, and looking to add 3 doors to my portfolio this year.I just wanted to offer up my expertise to anyone who may need it.

Some commentators here have immense expertise in what they tend to write about, many do not and are contributing for other reasons -- this cannot help but be true in any online forum.Without doing the work you need to research what these people are recommending and get over "the last mile" yourself, you'll never come to know who is who, whose comments to watch for, and at least 3/4 of the value of these forums will be lost on you.

Why wouldn't you  leverage the expertise of a local PMC?

However, we've also had projects that were much more technical, required permits or the work required was above my expertise where hiring a GC was the smartest thing we've done.I would say the finding a reliable GC that fits your model is one of the most important members of your team. 

I was more referring to a self-deferred IRA for interest/compounding, but by no means is this my area of expertise.
