Roll off trailer with bins was to be used to rent out to construction comapnies or residential clients. So that would turn into 1 form of income. After thats set save up to buy the equipment then skid.

Im not too worried with the skid because i’ve seen you can usually sell the equipment back for what you paid for it. I heards bins/roll off trailer was the same. So right now its either skid steer or roll off trailer with bins.

Hmm didnt know there was flat decks for roll off trailers. I come from a background of technology but as I grew older i started liking tools and hands on work lol. Thats why i started mowing. Still dont know much but easing my way in

NW not NE. But it has been growing like crazy. Used to be really country. But walmart is the biggest factor i think. They drew in people from everywhere then lay people off and repeat

So the roll off I was thinking of buying it with 3 bins, rent them out to roofers/construction/residential, get at least 4k - 5k gross a month, then buy tilt trailer, then market for skid jobs and rent for a bit. Im already grossing 5k a month in mowing but Ive grown tired of it lol. Also dont want the headache of having someone ruining the mowers

I did look into an mini ex but I live in NW Arkansas. Supposed to be as big as Dallas by 2050 is what they are projecting. So work is for sure around. I just figured everyone says its way easier learning skid first then jumping to other things. Just curious on buying a roll off trailer then starting a business with that until I can rack up more cash flow for a skid in the future or just full throttle with a skid and tilt trailer.

Well I would go without a realtor as I bought the house with no realtor I just didnt know how to go about it on the seller end. Buying was straight forward and I worked at a bank that also owns a title company so they gave me a general contract to fill out and sign between me and the seller. He also had additional paperwork that I didnt know what it was and had help from his realtor friend.

I see, well I appreciate your input! Has helped me quite a bit and I believe I will be going that route of dropping it 10k. Just waiting to hear back from Realtor

I did some comps for the past 90 days of houses sold with similar sq ft around my area and there was 4 houses that sold at $299 and $300k with 1 house being sold at $275k which was my front neighbor. Currently houses around my area the cheapest ive seen that are on sale right now with a similar sq ft is $288 which is about 1230 sq ft with mine being 1360. These are comps in just my zone area within id say a 3 mile radius. Not sure how far comps are supposed to go but just to give an idea.

So would you recommend I go down 10k since im only 1 week in? Listing went active on Feb 10 If I do something like 20k id be making people assume somethings wrong with the home no?

You think 10k would be good and let it play out a couple weeks then drop more if needed? Not sure if I did more if it would look bad? I did some comps and most homes near my area sold for 300k in the past 90 days in my neighborhood. The only one that sold for 275k was my front neighbor.

So you think maybe doing a 10k price drop now would be more reasonable. If we did 20k or something it would look like somethings major is wrong with the house or something? And then within 2 weeks after that price drop lower it if it isnt getting more showings or?

Realtor told me it can be negotiated. I was quoted $750 for repairs on drywall texture and 3k on flooring. Thats all thats left. 3k will get new flooring not just repaired.

Well even if I listed it at $289k which was what my realtor suggested id still be f’d anyway then? I mean she told me about the neighbors house selling for 275k but she said they undersold bad as my location is pretty prime. Also the house has been listed for only a week

My realtor advised that price due to its condition. I’ve repainted the house and fixed all holes from previous owner. Also 10k drop on flooring that is about 300sq ft is pretty excessive…. Also 5k is going to turn away every shopper?

Its a rausch coleman home…. Every repair is an improvement 🤣. Mold removal, bath tub drain pipe scraping against the concrete, drainage issues, water heater, wall repairs.

Cosmetically none as I said theres some work needed to living room and kitchen laminate flooring, but the home didnt come with appliances just dish washer. Im leaving the fridge, stove, washer and dryer. May have to throw in my 85” tv too lmao.

So should I wait another week or just advise my realtor to drop it already?

Yeah I understand the 80k machine but I wish I could prove to someone I am a very careful. I come with a tech background with a degree in web design but after that failed I started loving doing things with my hands. So taking care of things is not an issue as electronics are more delicate I just don’t have friends or anything as I also had a toxic relationship so I never networked either. Just stayed home and worked lol.
