Fast forward to now and my dad now flips homes full time and doesn't have to drive around the US anymore (he used to be a truck driver).

The construction of a Tesla semi-truck factory will create 3,000 to 5,000 permanent jobs in the future.

TIA. a shipping container home. you can buy them prebuilt. stack them like "apartments" or connect multiple for larger units. structurally sound, weather and fire resistant. they look cool. and because of their size the entire house can be built in a shop (no bad weather days holding up a build.) loaded on a truck and unloaded at your site.

Definitely.Trying to go OOS for your first REI deal is a bit like trying to surf a monster 100 foot wave before you've learned to swim, or trying to ski a double black diamond for your very first run.Fortunately, there are simpler strategies that are much better suited for a first time RE investor (house hacking, specifically).

And here's a really good kicker, if trucking is in the tanks, all the trucks have to be parked right?

I’m in my mid thirties and employed as a chemical tank truck driver.

I bought them in 2018-2019 and they are worth around +240-300k now, so while they are not cashflow monsters they appreciated nicely, nearly tripled the initial investment amount. 

I'm holding cash in HYSAs and dabbling in the stock market after monster '23. 

I told  her a day within the same week didn't work, as I was having the a truck remove 2 last pieces of furniture, and that i wanted time to get perfect she asked the following and then realized that it was valentines day and we agreed that Thursday would.

The old one might be worth $5 at the scrap yard - if you have a truck, that's probably not enough money to take it there by yourself, but if you have a place to keep the old one until you have a truck full, then it might make sense.I hope this helps!
