1. Curating a reliable circle β intentional group of people purely for growth.
2. Partnering with homeowners, investors and developers to build smarter and better.
3. Investing more of my earnings so I can retire in the next 10 years.
@CaptainArinze A CNG powered generator as primary power source & diesel as optional backup will drive down his fueling costs significantly. CNGs are low maintenance,quieter,cleaner and can deliver same load requirement to run the hotel.
My wife and I finally got an offer accepted on a house and hired a home inspector.
I thought he'd just walk around and make sure the roof wasn't actively caving in.
Instead, a guy named Gary showed up with a tactical utility belt, an infrared camera, and the demeanor of a homicide detective.
Gary spent 6 hours meticulously documenting every structural sin committed in the last 50 years.
He handed me a 90-page PDF report that was color-coded by severity.
The whole document was basically just red.
He noted that the slope of the driveway deviates by two degrees, which could cause pooling during a catastrophic hundred-year flood.
I live in a landlocked state.
He pointed his thermal camera at a window and told me I was losing an unacceptable amount of ambient heat.
I told him the window was open.
He wrote that down as a critical mechanical failure.
He took me to the basement to look at the HVAC unit.
He shined his flashlight on a single speck of dust and asked if I was prepared for the respiratory consequences of poor filtration.
I asked him if the furnace actually worked.
He sighed deeply and said it functions, but it lacks the efficiency of a modern heat pump.
We moved to the electrical panel where Gary put on thick rubber gloves like he was about to defuse a bomb.
He told me the wiring was technically up to code but ethically questionable.
I don't know how electricity can lack morals, but Gary seemed very disappointed in the circuit breaker.
Finally, he found a tiny crack in the garage floor.
He used a digital caliper to measure it and informed me the foundation is undergoing micro-settlement.
Every house on earth is undergoing micro-settlement.
We're on a spinning rock in space, Gary.
I asked him for a bottom-line assessment on whether we should buy the property.
He looked me dead in the eye and said the house is technically habitable but still compromised.
I paid him $600 for this psychological warfare.
We're still going to buy the house.
I'm just going to live in constant fear that maybe Gary was right.
