    First Things First - Build a Strong Foundation by Mastering the Basics

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Loved the post... this one hit close especially. I know many people on this forum have a lot they are doing and can do a lot more. It can be tough to make time to hangout with friends & family, but it pays off way more than just working. You could call me an extroverted introvert because at...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Two quotes from my pops that I consistently return to: 1. Tell me what you fear and I'll tell you why you're wrong. 2. Why wait till tomorrow when you can do it today. For number one, it is about taking a step of courage. Like going up to the girls I was interested in and talking to them. I...

    Update: I made an offer to those clients for their father's house that they are selling. They ended up agreeing to allow me to clean out their house and keep anything I find. I paid $5k to do so, and wrote up a legal agreement to protect myself and them (incase of injuries, theft, etc.) This...

    Building a Beauty Empire. From 0 to 180k profit in 8 month and beyond

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    I was wondering how you saw this need in terms of the beauty clinic? You were attending university, have a military background, I am curious how this idea came about? Also, once you saw this opportunity, how did you go about identifying the steps to take to put the beauty clinic into action?

    Well, this is the year for deck repairs and staining! Just had 2 more clients sign up for a total of $9,500 (about $7k-$7.5k in profit total) One thing I am learning throughout this process in landscaping, is that it does not matter what your expectations are of the clients or people you work...

    Tough clients in the past week… About this time of year (2-3 weeks before fourth of July), clients start getting antsy and love to ask when we will show up for their landscape projects. Our contract stipulates 30 days plus rain and heat days from signing… Had a lady call us twice saying...

    A learning lesson from the past 2 days of attempting to have my A/C fixed. A guy I called last summer to come fix my A/C unit ended up being amazing... He replaced the unit in the same day. Had his guys drive an hour to pick up a brand new A/C unit and did a great job at setting the unit up...

    One of the clients I have for a smaller landscaping job ($10k) said their dad passed away and their trying to sell the house. It is a 3bed/1 bath (999sf) ranch with a basement. Built in the 60s, full of junk but a lot of stuff I can sell off (tools, lawn mowers, etc.) The property appraised at...

    I appreciate that! It took me 2-3 years to really step into doing all this, but it was worth it 100% The thing too is the economy is too good and people are spending money like crazy. Where my properties are, the median incomes is around $40k-$70k, and people are now able to spend money because...

    Luckily I found a decent one for the nicer house. But that took about 30-50 calls and quotes to find the guy… Angie’s list haha. Second one has been a nightmare to find help. Have a guy coming on Monday morning to start on the siding. I’ll definitely try the realtor route. I don’t have one I...

    The one property that is better condition is a 3bed/1bath. Those are selling for $110k-$125k, but I assume I'll get around $90k-$100k. Built in 1945 most are 70s houses, but mine is solid and has good infrastructure in terms of plumbing and electricity. The torn down property will probably be a...

    Learned today to be prepared for anything, but have zero expectations for customers/clients, both bad and good. When we sign contracts, we have a 30 day from sign date to start the landscape project. Yes people love to text “When are you coming?” about a week in, i just tell them the truth...

    I will attach pictures at some point. One of them is a total gut job. The last people who bought it thought they were flippers and decided to tear the whole placed apart, so that will be a $30k-$40k nut to spend. The other is much more intact, just got the garage roof reshingled and siding on...

    HA! No thanks man! The properties were foreclosures and they're in small, somewhat country towns in my state. (Populations are around 500-1000 max!) I appreciate that, they seem so small to me, but I guess that's because I see there is always bigger and better avenues! Thanks MJ for all the...

    Thoughts on cashing out a HELOC before recession

    REAL ESTATE QUESTION 
    Okay I can see this, but why not get a bridge loan instead? They CAN (not always) be a fixed interest rate, but you do run the risk of having it attached to your home. However, now that I know you are looking to use the HELOC for an investment, I say go for it. You need to find a deal that...
