@AP4Liberty I am also a small business owner (SBO). As an SBO, you vote for what is best for your SB, not what is best to own the libs or any other group. This was your mistake.
It was obvious DT would devastate SB. Too bad too many idiots like you voted for him. Racism is expensive.
@kennedytcooper Work smarter, not harder. 2 guys need water for families. Guy A carries a bucket of water from river to his house everyday. Guy B digs a well next to his house. Charges Guy A if he wants to get water from the well. Guy A tells Guy B to get a real job. Sounds familiar?
@withinashes19 @CatiorroF1@RSinsights@kennedytcooper So, you've reached communism stage of thinking. Everyone should be laboring. I'm sorry, but some of us take that extra step to make our lives better. Communism has proven to not work because no one is motivated to be creative.
@alyssathorhamar@kennedytcooper Not everyone wants to be tied down to a single place. Among my tenants, I have a paramedic, nurse, mortgage loan officer, real estate agent, and even a trust fund baby. These people are well capable of buying their own house. They just don't want to.
@withinashes19 @RSinsights@kennedytcooper Ok. Why don't you start digging a hole in the ground. Doesn't matter for what. That is a lot of labor and therefore must have a lot of value.
@withinashes19 @RSinsights@kennedytcooper Nonsense. When you hire a plumber to put in a toilet, going forward you are benefitting from the labor of another everytime you use that toilet. Nothing wrong. Your argument is BS. Everybody benefits from other people's labor at one point or another. Work smarter, not harder.
@alyssathorhamar@kennedytcooper Nothing is the same as other things. But they are comparable. Just scaled up or scaled down. I can rent out a bike. Scale it up to a car. Scale it up to a house. Scale it up to a toll way. Scale it up to a piece of land (property tax). Scale it up to a country (income tax). Etc.
@GigaGuess @kennedytcooper Easy. I find new tenants. Even at the height of the great depression, unemployment never went above 24%. There will always be renters.
@alyssathorhamar@kennedytcooper It's figuring out how to make the rules benefit you. Everyone does this. Using coupons. Finding sales. Buying clearance. Taking shortcuts on the road.
@picklestapler@kennedytcooper I worked really hard to get to this point. I was an engineer with MA and PE for over a decade. Starting a real estate investment company alone has all self funding has been the hardest thing I have ever done. Much more so than college and engineering career. Of course I'm proud.
@SIMULAT3DHUMAN@Bhafcoscar@kennedytcooper I was an engineer (PE, MA) for over a decade. I literally signed a dozen bridges that I designed. Nowadays, I buy dilapidated properties and spend my own effort and money to bring them back to life. How does this affect you?
@Simon50300048@kennedytcooper Because it is much more profitable to rent indefinitely and then i can always sell when I'm old or pass it on to next generation. I'm late 30s. A duplex generates $2k/month. That's half a mil in 20-25 years. I can always sell in 25 years to cash out.
