@Dean B. part of the problem here is that with all of the fire rebuilding the GCs are incredibly busy, and the trades are even busier.

My favorite thing to do when learning a new skill or job is to watch/listen/participate with everyone around me that is involved, take in the way that each person does it, let it all sink in, and turn it into what works best for me.I have had a few different types of jobs; I laid irrigation pipe for 3 summers, I was roadie for a local band that toured Nebraska for about 3 years, I worked in a warehouse of a carpet shop for a summer, I was a line cook in a scratch kitchens for 10 years (this is what I owe most of my quick-on-the-fly thinking skills from), and I am currently a Journeyman Electrician (7 years in the trade) I am taking my Electrical Contractors test this month and if pass that I will be able to pull all my own electrical permits.I have a wonderful family (wife and a daughter) who support me in all that I do.

I've been learning and trading pennystocks, I've done tons of research on local and out of state projects using the biggerpockets calculators, etc.

Trumps trade war with China?

A jack of all trades but a master of none.

Of course as luck would have it, the consumer product industry has been suffering lately due to foreign trade (Damn Tariffs!!!)

I mean become a passive investor in a legitimate, non-publicly traded business that produces solid net income for its investors.The key here is net income.

But from my experience brokers don't like when buyers come back to re-trade for petty reasons.

One of them, who is a contractor by trade, asked if he could install an interior door because it would make the layout of the apartment less strange.

@Shiloh Lundahl, I think we've traded a few emails early in the morning!
