Yes. Utilization will become more of a factor when you're a staff 2, but you still want to make sure you're utilized as a staff 1. Definitely ask around for work. Don't wait for it to be June and your utilization is more than 20 Pts below 94%

Also, you'll have time to pick up other projects. Just make sure you have some work in the meantime.

I’ve got a partnership w/ two of my uncles. We have two houses on rent. we use the profit from the homes as a single pot where we pay for the maintenance expenses (different cash flow from each). We are close family and they trust my judgement. Another of my uncles wants to join for the next home we buy. How do we split/ allow their buy in to our partnership for the next home? I don’t wanna add extra accounting of maintaining expense/cash flow from the next one we buy as a larger group Thoughts?
