Builder, roofer, real estate, stocks. Not necessarily in that order anymore

@Jacob_Naviaux Building inspectors are usually pretty reasonable. Just talk to him like a normal person and don’t be a douche.

Can confirm I went this route & it’s been great. Income - roughly the same, stress level - 1/10

Don’t sleep on the low hanging fruit in construction.

Home repairs.
Handyman work.
Drywall patches.
Door repairs.
Trim.
Small plumbing fixes.
Punch list stuff nobody wants to mess with.

Everybody wants the $50k remodel.

Meanwhile, there are guys quietly stacking $500–$2,000 jobs every day with almost no overhead and minimal tools.

Get good. Be reliable. Answer the phone. Show up when you say you will.

One man band can earn a cushy $1,000 a day, build a $250k income after expenses, work about 10 months out of the year, and never touch a massive project.

There’s a lot of money hiding in the “small stuff.” That most homeowners and companies aren’t willing to touch.

@TheRealRitch4 @TannerBuilds lol no, I’m calling BS on that. Also your work looks good. Both can be true

@leevalueroach $MOO and chill?

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

@TheRealRitch4 @TannerBuilds There’s some nuance between willfully sloppy work, and minor details that most people would never notice or care about. The former is inexcusable imo

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

@TannerBuilds Bro I used to stress about making everything textbook quality, even behind the walls. I didn’t make any $, but my customers loved me😆

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

Taking an extended hiatus from the construction grind was the best decision imaginable. For 2 years I’ve just been maintaining my rental properties, mowing a lot of grass, and doing fun little projects for select long-time customers. 10/10 recommend if you can pull it off

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

@TannerBuilds Yeah I used to be super OCD about that kind of stuff, but now idgaf

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

@clbradfish Will you please sell me a $3m umbrella for $500? I will fly out tomorrow to wherever you are and hand deliver payment in cash

Rolled to 10/09, the week before next earnings report. I plan to roll again to take advantage of elevated earnings IV.
If I keep the shares for another 6 weeks it would become a LT holding, which for me is a rare accomplishment🙏

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

To roll or not to roll…that is the question $UNH

@GuyNamedPhil Fortress Duval. The invaders first contact would be with north/westside local population, good luck with that. Our soft underbelly is the beach yuppies & transplants, so if they can mount an amphibious assault we’re cooked

@NathanQuinlanGC 2x12 stair stringers fastened to the rim joist with 3 rusty toe nails, what could go wrong?

@jackofficial_01 Is Severance actually good? Every snippet I’ve seen is of the dude standing in an office hallway looking bewildered

Forget the fancy sports cars, this is my mid-life crisis starter pack

[JC @JC_de_Guzman]

@femiiiszn Agreed but thankfully my OCD compels me to complete everything I put in motion🙏
