Just a regular job pretty much.

Tried to find a job that would add knowledge to my business, but that didn't work out as you can see from previous posts.

But finally got capital to continue my venture. Although I am still going to live significantly below my means to grow the business.

Progress is progress. Congrats!

Thanks

No, that ended pretty quick.

Only flip flopping

Ha, you're funny

Even though I got this full time job. I might take a second job, since I am trying to get a home for 100k to have room for my business equipment as well.

If you have an established work history, tolerable credit and $70k a year, you should have no problem financing a $100k house.

And cars, I flip cars. Turn $500 into $3000.

Yeah, ended up getting pre approved already. Where do you get cars for $500? Lol

I’m a mechanic. So between customers not wanting to fix something and Craigslist/FB Market, I encounter lots of opportunity. “Needs brakes”, “check engine light”, and “won’t pass inspection” can be gold for me.
The price point I operate at may not be super impressive, but the people who are buying a used car CASH aren’t buying a $6-12k car. They finance that car at the used car dealership and end up with a crap box. The average cash buyers above the $2-4k bracket (in my area) are buying a specific car (classic, tuner, personal favorite). That’s why a $5000 used Infiniti is harder to sell than a $2500 corolla.
I fix what needs to be fixed and put an inspection sticker on it. In the mean time, this is also how I get MY cars, so I keep the corolla/civic/insert practical vehicle here.
