JV projects: he is open to them but there is a lot of shady people out there and he wants to know how to efficiently do his due diligence and not give his money to the first person that comes along (here or outside CA). completing the picture: - he cannot invest 100% of it: bc he works on project commission base jobs (consultant for social media marketing)- People do owe him money: and he will get about 20k more from it in March and April: - In addition he will save about $30k more by the summer (June) from wages after expenses. - Only debt: car payment (about 15k left on loan) and credit card debt ($6k) : other than that no debt. - 1099 : He is now earning at least $100k per year and fico over 750***********I know the advise I will give him, but I thought it would be fun to hear what you have to say about it!

Most will be a standard E26 (Edison type, 26mm) screw in base for the bulb, but in some areas, such as here in California, all of the new construction housings must have a 2 pin connector so that you cannot install a regular screw type bulb into the housing, instead you have to use a high efficiency bulb with a 2 pin plug.

Particularly if Tesla moves forward with their huge factory investment that is proposed to bring 5,000 jobs to the area.

The big help now is that technology is leaps and bounds better than it was 20 years ago and helps your efficiency beyond anything else.

If there's a way to take an analysis all the way down to zip codes (or smaller) efficiently, without having to first identify a market to look in, I'm all ears. 

Some items are a static cost that don't change, but in a renovation like you describe, the big factor is going to be labor and material cost. 

It is just efficient. 

Mistake #2: didn't research enough on how bank internal efficiencies can prolong short sales.- Very short closing period.

One key factor is you need a good support system back home.
