Anyone out there in the same situation but found partners to grow their business. 

Install cost is $200 for an economical plumber or $400 for brand name plumber. 

They said no since I'm a schedule C, since my business is part of my 1040 return.

I like to preserve my karma and grow my business. 

It's a hyperlocal business. 

So for now I would say my goals in REI are to learn as much as possible, build my net worth, and put myself in a position where I can decide whether this would be a viable business for me to focus my efforts in.

You're going to learn a lot just by being around the business.

You'll love it here and find many things to keep yourself busy with.

I'm currently going to school, working full time, and have a business going.

People do business with people they like, and trust.
