My buddy and I may have found a diamond and all we needed to do is solve a few people's problems and polish it up. 

@Chris GrenzigIn addition to vinyl plank mentioned in the posts above, I have clients who will finish (polish) a concrete slab and use it as interior flooring.

And when I do need to analyze a failure, knowing Griffith's crack theory or how hydrogen embrittles polished metal comes in super handy.   

I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Polish and speak some French. 

If you do not separate them then any fool can throw as much cash as needed to "polish a turd".

I still have a lot to learn but have polished off most of the BP real estate podcasts and have self educated my self a lot on wholesaling (mainly from American perspectives, not sure of a lot of the differences between our laws yet in regards to wholesaling).

For example, when renovating our master bathroom, we decided to install ceiling lighting in the bedroom, which not only added much needed light, but also created an accent wall that makes our bedroom feel significantly more polished.

I haven’t met nor worked with this GC yet so take my recommendation for what it’s worth , but I had a good rapport with this Polish contractor named Tomasz Balka.

Polish the heck out of an efficiency or one bedroom.

You had a big influx of immigrants at about that time- Polish, Italian, Irish, etc.
