    Hyperinflation starting? What's happening in your area? Post your ground reports.

    HOT! INVESTING 
    R Ironically most Canadian mills are investing in Saw mills in the USA. As lots of the land here has already been logged there's a 45-80 year re-growth period due to how far north we are. Sawmills in the US have a 25-45 year re-growth period and the land is generally privately held, hence no...

    I live in B.C, the largest lumber producing jurisdiction in North America. The land is Crown land (owned by the province) so to log it you pay a fee per tree to the government. That fee is basically based on what the market was at 6 months prior. So lumber was high about 2 years ago, bumping...

    Taking over business from retiring baby boomers

    Sorry I've been away for awhile, so I didn't catch this earlier. But I'll give you a run down on my story: I did an apprenticeship in Carpentry with a local tradesman, worked for about 10 years with him as my mentor. A amazingly well rounded carpenter, but a terrible businessman. He hit a down...

    Gravy's Hustle Thread: $100k/mo or Bust!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    As a construction business owner myself, I highly recommend the book "Traction" by Gino Wickman. Also the podcast "scale up your business" is a great resource. Honestly though you sound light years ahead of where I was when I started. From the sounds of it you'll do more than fine.

    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    I think what gets missed lots on the discussion about the quarantine vs opening right up is the auxiliary deaths. Its no question that lots of lives are being saved right now by people simply not getting infected, and that many of those people might just get infected at a later date. But its...

    [C0VlD-19] Forgiveable SBA Loans For Small Biz and Freelancers

    HOT! 
    I applied for mine here in Canada. $40,000 credit line through your bank secured by the government. After one year the credit line freezes with what you have owning, then converts to a loan. You then have another year to pay off 75% of it and the government will forgive the remaining 25%...

    My wife is due in 4 weeks. We've been told that 3 of the doctors where we will deliver are being kept out of the ER rotation to prevent exposure. One of these doctors will be our deliverer but we won't know until then. Once we deliver we won't be allowed to stay overnight in the facility, but...

    Stoicism teaches us how to deal with these situations mentally. Imagine the worst case, and realize then take comfort, that your not there. Marcus Aurelius is a good read right now as well

    I listened to this, by far the best explanation of the virus and its capabilities so far. Also they busted some myths, discussed the strain on the supply chain for medical supplies due to factories being in quarantine zones, and emerging viruses of concern.

    Rental Property Financing

    I've bought a place that needed work in the past, and was for sale for less than the assessed value. After a sizable renovation, I was able to re mortgage and pull back out the cost of the reno. If the spread on the purchase price and assessment was enough, I could also pull most of my...

    Leave, it will only get worse as it fails. Speak to him calmly about what you've posted, tell him you can't carry on, and give him a date. The answer sounds simple, but it won't be easy. I'm sorry but that's the best I can offer

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    Another way of looking at it is that we don't trust government involvement, and rightly so. But these companies have become the defacto governments of the internet, they have become so large that they dictate the rules of engagement now, or who even gets to participate. We shouldn't destroy...

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    Fundamentally I'm for the break up. AT&T sat on pagers, wireless technology and other ideas simply because it had the monopoly in telecommunications. Why waste money on r&d? After they were broken up we saw almost all of the subsequent companies reach valuations greater than the original...
