The downsides of flipping full time for me were man-sitting contractors that even the better ones were on their own timeline. 

When you invest in the stock market, you sit back and collect a dividend, maybe some appreciation, and decide when to sell.  

Sit and wait it out and see how the market reacts or make the investment?

I looked at my wife and said, “I’m so tired of sitting on the sidelines in this game, I’ve got to get in it.

As I sit and wait the corporate job situation, I want to get into the game and have explored a SDIRA to invest in my partnerships.

The interesting thing about pricing properties is that even $5000 could have made the property sit.

Next tip, low-tech wins: when doing renovations or repairs or in any dust-control/noise-control environment, the value of a good fixed-blade utility knife with a fresh 50-pack of blades patiently used to cut drywall accurately, quietly, cleanly, and with minimal dust is vastly underrated.

Other than that, it's a pretty quiet area.

The mini choppers don't seem to get used much, but I do a test 2x a year on each small appliance and they all still work as new.Also, things like the coffee pot are spares that sit in the pantry.

Now, my wife and I dog sit via the Rover app to make extra money.
