Think about how to scale your value and connect with local people that have skills that you don't already have.  

Clunky, dark wood, and rustic furnishes are being traded for light and airy colors, fabrics, and materials.

Stay focused on what is right in front of you and mastery your choosen trade before you branch out.

As I stated in my last comment to John, there are going to trade offs.

Megan, I am an agronomist by trade and worked in NE Missouri for 5 years, I now work in SE Iowa.

Among many other side hustles over the years I have heavily pursued mostly automotive and small home renovation type projects when time allows.I look forward to helping and interacting with as many people as I can along with honing my own skills and knowledge as it relates to real estate investing.Please chime in if you are also a Smokey Mountain local!

Yes, winter units do take longer to fill but the trade off is worth it and I will stick with no blackouts as it defeats the beauty of MTM.

If you are far from the towers, then an outside or attic antennae is probably better.I am in electronics by trade so know a fair amount about this subject. 

We haven't checked on pricing recently but one of our main trading partners should be wrapping up trades soon that they got for 10 points less than they normally would.We have 4 re-performers in Ch 13 BKs.

This is where soft skills matter.
