If you want to make real money in real estate though...what you can do is as follows:1.

Feel free to find me on my socials (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok) where I make real estate content and talk more about this stuff.

Most park owners I know are deal makers.

@Brandon Ellis how’s it going in your new maker Brandon?

@Chris Clothier@Brian Bradley  not to get totally off topic.but when I work in the investment side of this .. its amazing how many people I talk to that will invest 100's to 100s of thousands of dollars with sponsors or deal makers or syndicators etc.and Not even ask for any back ground on them..

This is a common winter issue up here in older buildings, with little to no insulation, when it gets cold and there is high indoor humidity.  

Roomming houses aren't huge money makers after you factor in vacancy, taxes, and utilities if you're doing "room for rent- bills paid." 

The Usury laws make it difficult to loan your own money out here and make really good returns, unless you meet certain exceptions.  

They have been told they can make RE riches despite having no money or credit or experience.I am not trying to bash anyone (except the gurus) but I was hoping to provide these newbies a dose of reality to offset the hype they have obviously been hearing from seminars or infomercials.

Josh this is a tough oneFirst of all if this was an "above board " contractor meaning he is operating a business legally with Calif St Contractor License, a bond,and liabilty insurance has a commercial vehicle on the road with insurances  theres no way he a charge $50 an hour  in S Calif and make a profit.I am much higher than this guy.In fact any legimate service business in S Calif be it electrician,HVAC,finish carpenter and or plumber is at 200 to 225.00 per hour.You cant charge what grandpa did back in the day.Gasoline is $5.00 a gallon for God sakes.thats cold turkey,,,I would go to a reliable plumbing supply house like Hirsch Pipe and Supply and ask for a couple refferals on good plumbing contractors who buy lots of material and pay their bills on time.Also ask about their "attitude" and if they are "easy to get along with".This will tell you clearly that they are legit and easy to work with.You dont need to- run "an adult day care center" on a job site.They are plenty of good contractors out there that have their "big boy pants on" know what they are doing and get get a job done in and out fast without pissing of the other trades on a job.Having said that ,most competant firms will insist on providing their own material as they now what they like and maker a small profit on its mark up.Hope that helpsDD\
