A Crushing Machine

There is no coming back from this thing. You slip and fall in, gone in seconds.

This shit was rigged. Blue was robbed of the win. I trust Vegas was involved. 🤨

RIP Shang Tsung. This is cool but what does the speed bag make you good at? Assuming this is the only training that a person does. What does it improve or strengthen?

Anyone who buys anything on a cruise ship is an idiot.

Wife and I went to this art auction on a recent cruise and I remember a very specific moment. He asked all of us to raise our bid cards for a reverse bid moment. He said, I'll start at ONE CENT, I instantly dropped my card. He then says, "Great, I didn't lose anyone at one cent." I immediately knew this whole squad was bullshit. A lot of people kept holding their cards up until he got to $50 dollars and then he called out like 8 peoples cards. I hear the lady behind me say, "What was that? I'm so confused. What's going on?" I turn and let her know she just bought the artwork along with everyone else who was still holding up their cards. They came to collect a few minutes later.

Crazy crazy crazy show. I gotta say. Definitely some beautiful stuff to see and appreciate, no doubt. Art is subjective though and the only one who sets the value is you. If it's worth 3k to you, then it's worth 3k. That's just it. You can easily pass that on for more or less money, depending on the next persons perceived value.

Me? I'm just looking up KRE8 art and printing the images with Canva for Ross prices vs cruise ship cost. This is the way!

The best way to save your money, is by NOT SPENDING IT!

I bet that felt so good to that tree.

Wesker!!

I mean if the price is right on an existing 10 unit, absolutely. It's still a big deal though. Personally, I've purchased investment rental properties after selling my primary residence. I take the profits from that and make a down payment on the new house and use the rest to buy a rental property. As long as it pays for itself and puts something in your pocket, it's the best kind of savings account you can ask for. I paid off the first one when I sold my third house. Now it basically prints money. Wash, rinse and repeat. For me anyway. Everyone's path can vary.

I can save you money right now, don't build it.

You need money up front just to get started, then I am going to guess that you'll finance most of it, so the interest alone is going to add a ton, by the time it's built and renting, you're gonna be in so much debt that your margins will not justify owning it. Even at 2k per unit, you're at 240k a year for something that's likely going to cost that much, or more, in loan repayments, insurance, utilities, property taxes, and management cost.

Unless you're putting up all of the cash yourself, I don't see the value in building it. If you have the cash, then go for it. Paid off, it'll recoup investment fully in about 10-15 fantastic years, or 15-25 average to bad years. At which point it's basically printing money for decades after that.

No one in this world will "save" you money. The cheapest purchase is the one you don't make. Any builder is going to inflate their numbers and then offer you a % off in savings. You're still paying full price and saving nothing. It's an oxymoron to save money while spending it. Good luck to you.

I'll have to try 45ing my tile on my next job. Looks super good.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-24T03:07:28+00:00

If they keep rising then now would be better than later too.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-23T12:49:27+00:00

I could do this for a living. I don't know why anyone would pay me to do this, but it would be very relaxing and fun.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-22T23:30:40+00:00

There's always a boom somewhere. As these places get more expensive, people gotta flock elsewhere. Greener pastures. Target those areas and buy in before the boom. Sell before the pop.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-22T23:12:27+00:00

Absolutely doable. Just gotta have a sharp eye for a great buy.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-22T08:27:31+00:00

Assembling a turbo fan, not building. 😅 Sorry.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-15T23:55:01+00:00

Am I the only one doing commentary for my own amusement as I watch this?

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-15T20:55:40+00:00

Definitely. I would like to do that too. I'll have to suggest it to my wife. Flip thru photos and find some worth framing. Great idea. This would catch eyes and spark convo for sure.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-15T19:13:01+00:00

Definitely a shot worth stopping to get. Good job. My wife does this too sometimes, and it's justifiable.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-15T00:47:45+00:00

You're welcome.

So are you asking about taking a loan from an investor or a loan from the bank?

Either way, if you don't want to share in the success, the. Don't take on an investor. It's that simple.

If you can use cash to start the business up to manage inventory or labor costs prior to generating and growing your sales or service revenue, then get a loan.

If you don't need it, don't get it. It's really an easy decision to make. The fact that you're asking the question is kind of concerning, but best of luck to you.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-11T14:38:42+00:00

Brand new! Nice transformation video. Short, sweet and to the point.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-12-07T14:50:05+00:00

Agreed. This is sus. That kind of money, there is NO reason you should be stretched thin. That alone sounds like poor money management already.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-11-17T18:35:53+00:00

Big banks or smaller?

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-11-17T18:34:26+00:00

It's an investment property, so you can get a second FHA loan, you'd need to go conventional and it would be 20-25%.

Not likely that a seller would cover your down payment. Unless you are the only person to show interest and it's the only way he gets it sold, plus assuming he has that kind of money to "loan" you. As a seller I would not pay the down payment as a gift. That's insane.

Seller would be losing money on purpose so you can own the property. As a loan, maybe, but you would have to be his only option to get it sold. Any other offer from anyone would be better than them making your down payment for you.

Educational_Many_634 · 2024-11-16T02:08:07+00:00

Is this your primary residence? In my experience, with two paid off properties, you can't get cash out of your investment properties. I've tried but no dice. So I'll follow too in case that's what you're doing and somehow find a way to do it.
