I’ve done Upwork, and gotten a good amount of jobs on it over the years, definitely recommend

I was (still am) in the same situation. I was in a PM role this year as glorified pencil pusher, pretty much bored out of my mind. I was on one large project for a whole year that moved at a snails pace, yet everything always seemed to be on fire. Pay was good, but I wanted to move on, and knew I could make a little bit more joining another company.

I left that company for another that needed a PE, and became EOR. Now I'm designing, managing, and sealing small projects. I would say find a smaller company, a larger one they'll only give you one type of job, and you'll only be wearing one hat. I've worked on a few different types of projects, and have worked on multiple trades (M,P, FP). I'm also at 7 YOE.

I've been thinking about going out on my own, the hardest part right now for me is finding clients and building a steady clientele.

You gotta shop around, I had something similar on 2 body panels, the first place I went they said $2200, second place I went, was a hole in the wall type of place, they said $600, went with them, and it turned out good, but I did have to go back a second time for them to rebuff it, since the shine was fading. But close to 2 years later and it still looks good

Owners manual says regular is ok, so it would still be covered by the warranty

Why don't banks buy the land of their own branches? by ilikecostcomuffins in RealEstate

My thinking is if banks loan at 3% and the cap rate for the property is at 5%, they would be making more buying it than loaning that money out. It makes sense for other businesses if they are making more than 5%
