My cousin and his wife are living for free in one. It's kind of crappy, and they have a kid, but all he has to do is fix it a bit
That's easier said than done
Believe me I know man. I bout the house for 75 and sold it for 120 but unfortunately I ate up all the profit redoing it and building garage
@John O - spread your seed and maybe you can get one.
I'm only 22. I have a few years.
That's the problem with flipping, though. People only look at the gross, not the net, and say "I made $30k!"
Yep the gross don't mean shit haha. If I had a chance to do it over again I could have done much better I made a lot of mistakes and done some things over a couple times and spent way to much on insignificant things and not enough on other important things.
I was 21 when I wed my wife and knocked her up the first time lol
^nice
yeah with flipping we would need to have a good idea of costs and plan accordingly
the other nice thing about flipping is we could do this:
- buy house all cash
- fix it up
- take out a mortgage on it
-rent it out
- take the proceeds from the refi and put that into the next house
Money = Freedom
I'm stupid man, I've never even considered a refi
@Wotan Reborn Being invaluable to society=freedom. Money is just a metric to measure how valuable you are
Well it certainly makes it easier
Anyone want to learn how to cut stones?
Ooooooh
Yeah
Oy vey goys, don't do that!
My dad and little brother started a Jewelry store after he retired. My dad is GIA certified geologist.
(((Jew)))elry
The jews don't control the jewelry business anymore, just a stake in the diamond trade, The Chinese run that industry. China is loaded with minerals, and cheap labor create cheap jewelry.
You know cutting stones is very similar to cutting a gear on an indexing head
@Deleted User give me a couple of weeks, I only see my parent's on the weekend. So I'll need time to show the process.
Also @Deleted User is doing a great job on showing things that can dress up a house to get a different look.
Ran into some asbestos today. Old 9x9 floor tile, someone used to hold a window sill up. Haha

Good morning @everyone. I want to share something pretty autistic and pretty personal with you. I’m a big believer in consistent self-improvement, and in keeping a balance of academic, physical, and spiritual pursuits. I’m an older lad, and settled down, so I have time to engage in these pursuits. This is a pic is a little diagram I’ve prepared to show you how I pursue this balance, and I provide it so that maybe you can use it as a model to balance your own pursuits. If you do, and are comfortable sharing them, I would love to see them. You'll have to click on "open in original" to be able to read it I think.
@Deleted User yes you have to open in browser.
This is pretty intense. Maintaining this consistently takes extreme discipline
It's really just a two-hour a day commitment for everything, with room for a once per week break. So I agree the tricky part for guys is probably going to be maintaining it in the long run, to stay focused on your our paths over months and years.
I thought I was a freak for thinking this way, too. People often call me a Renaissance man, and sometimes question me when I state what "I'm in to". It's great to see other people making sure they are well rounded. Even with all that said, I often feel as if I could and should do more.
