We have a barber shop doing great, the same guy is opening a tattoo shop, but I have three spaces left.

Because there are houses with bowling alleys, laser tag arenas, lazy rivers, etc IN THEIR HOUSE now.5 years ago if you threw a pool table and a foosball table and a dart board in the garage in Orlando you had a "game room". 

Overall very low tooth-to-tattoo ratio in this part of the state. 

Even for a DIY campaign, you can use a laser printer and Microsoft Excel / Microsoft Word to create customized white letters.  

I have been laser focused on how to get my foot in the door (strategy), and I think it will be by purchasing an SFH, and living in it for one year, then renting it out.

You will have to own them like a tattoo........

My crew actually loves working on them because given they roll out of a factory type build, they tend to be laser straight and without the oddities we find in some older stick built homes.   

Let their experiences save you time and money to stay laser focused on your own goals.

Get a laser measuring tool and zap together some quick figures for sqyds of carpet, hardwoods, tile.

Pay too much now as many people do you will need to own it like a tattoo, for life!
