Try to keep complexity and expenses low for your small business or you will spend a lot of time and cash feeding the monster.

I make right around 80k as a truck driver.

I've read some cautionary tales about "monster homes" becoming management headaches.

My next deal while I was just about to sign the contract on a house in Glenn Cove LI. a truck pulls up.

What your considering here is some franken-sale "monster" of twisting these 2 into a manner neither was ever meant to be utilized as. 

But we never had a shiny truck show up with people in monogrammed shirts.  

Work hard and be niceIgnorance is the consequence of knowing everything (I just made that up)Contractors have more funerals, weddings and broken trucks than any other demographic on the planetDon't be sleazy (I just made this up, as well)

I almost had my truck repossessed, ruined my personal credit for years, and the deal source was one of my closest friends.

--> (lot of layoffs in trucking biz)- The Fed is totally okay with letting CRE fail (yes, as written by therealdeal)This is an acceptable fall, but that is where some massive SFH syndications and equity funds are now selling to buy into----> if you could describe this more??

Pay $1.5 million, tear it down, spend $3 million to build a brand new monster.
