@CindyStumpo_@charliekirk11@mikeroweworks Me too Cindy I’m right there with you! Labor trades are dwindling and we are all effed! Insane bids due to extreme shortages.
@elonmusk Are you leaving DOGE? Please comment on the likely twisted news reports stating you are leaving due to Tesla and backlash. We can only believe truth anymore from the horse’s mouth!
@Thefrugalgay11 I’d start there! I actually started in a single wide trailer. I cringed when people spoke of “trailer trash”. It was cheap and all I could afford. Then, I bought a trailer park and was blessed to know many beautiful people. 🙏♥️
Build people BUILD! Buy land before it gets too scarce.
There are some areas where you can buy cheap, with utilities.
Of course there will be added expenses like a foundation system and labor if you’re not a diy-er. But still!
Be sure your jurisdiction and covenants allow this size home.
And another time, called the local sheriff. He knew the guy had warrants out for his arrest. We let the sheriff know when he was in his car in front of the trailer. Sheriff came quick and arrested him. Then told his squatter girlfriend, you’re next, better get moving. She left in a hot second.
@CollinJHumphrey Personally I will never reveal my budget to a contractor. I believe their bid should be uninfluenced. I also never tell a contractor what other contractors are bidding.
@MarkMintman @CollinJHumphrey Totally agree. I feel that with a basic description of the work to be performed, an experienced contractor could easily throw out a ballpark figure to cut to the chase. But asking a client what their budget is, is like a car dealer asking what payment can you afford?
