I love the middle class sector

Watching YouTube 2019
Jerry Norton on wholesaling !
But I've been in construction 20 years so I know how to build homes.

Another pipeliner funded the entire deal plus lunch. I managed the fund plus contractors we split 50/50

How did you add value to the deal?

My extensive construction knowledge plus I can sell yellow snow !

What was the outcome?

I should not have been so afraid to fail which I have not yet ! Should have dropped out of high school and started back in 1997.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Managing contractors. Not being so generous i love to help people but they love to take a mile!
