When my husband got out of military, he did online schooling and worked at a factory. He said he hated the people there and ran into a guy that does windows and glass. Said it was great. After he finished school, which I had made him save all his money from being an installer and I paid for everything until he finished, like he did for me when I was in pharmacy school. He got his contractors license and started doing windows and glass himself. He makes more money than I do now after taxes and I’m a pharmacist! I think getting your contractors license is one of the best ideas.

@@Coolstorybro-f6y He worked for a franchise called golden glass. So he went to his bosses warehouse. Picked up mostly premade glass, premade ass in customers had select options, my husband would then install, various select sizes of glass that are common how most homes are made. However. Odd measures they would do. My husband said he learned to makes common glass from the factory work with customers showers. As they used trim and various hardware that made for hidden adjustments. My husband worked as helper, then became installer with his tools I purchased for him. Then here in Jacksonville Florida, we get franchise after he use VA business loan for a warehouse. My husband said most installs are standard with hidden adjustments within the trim. But actual custom showers are money makers. But I say to my husband be lowest bidder, and pay installers most. I want his employees with particular insurance plan through bluecross. My father was contractor with no insurance. I say my husband purchase or subscribe to business employee health insurance. So my husband here in Jacksonville Florida has very loyal contractors. And I do the accounting, calls and scheduling. I quit pharmacy after my student loans were paid. My husband said glass is good because the business cant be overtaken by illegals. Its enough for us to maintain. Im a motocross mom also, so im always gone while he is working. I have two boys. Basically i drive a 250 and haul a trailer for my living. We have plans in store for a mobile mac truck. But hotels for now. Sometimes just the truck sleeping over night.

Solid tip on septic inspection pre-closing. Thought our septic inspector was expensive at $550, turns out the system was completely broken and had to be replaced. $21,000 later (paid by the seller) we dodged a bullet and that was the best $550 ever spent.

@TheBalognaPony Ай бұрын

💯 wish i woulda known this. First time homeowner and I trusted all the generic inspection teams the realtor recommended & the county "inspection". The leachfield and every line after the tank was packed with roots and sand. 0 fittings were left. All the old 70s cement fittings had disintegrated. The tank would fill to 100% capacity and drain / leach just enough through the service holes and the inlet/outlets that weren't sealed to the tank at the time, no signs of anything wrong.... 6 months into ownership we start getting gurgles in the toilet and discovered how bad it was. Never trusting the scam artist realtors or their home inspectors again. Never had so much stress in my life and even 2 years after replacement I am still paranoid.

If you have a pump unit that separates the solids from the liquids, you can make even more money putting the liquids back into the septic tank and dumping only solids at the waste site. And it's beneficial for the home owner to have a tank full of biologically active waste water again.

I’ve worked worked for a portable company for a year now out revenue is about 115,000 grand or so in a 10 month period with 14 people on payroll the septic side is like $475 for a servicing and $150 to inspect it and they generate a lot of money from it and like they said it fills up in a few days after pumping and people get it pumped every 3 years or so . If you’re rotating old and new customers you’ll last 30 years and going like the company I work for now. Thought of getting into the trade for myself soon Edit: I said revenue i meant PROFIT ; if our Rev was 100k i wouldnt have a job; that is a varying TOTAL profit not what the company will actually make in a year GROSS wise...

In 2013 we had to install an aerobic system that is 3 tanks, 750/1500 and 1500. 750 is the first tank, 1500 aerobic and then another 1500-gallon pump tank that also has two UV lights installed and about 500 feet of drain field. It is massive. The house is a 1977 7-bedroom 5-bathroom home. two kitchens two laundry rooms. We spent in total nearly 50K to install it and we have 14 people living in the home. We have it pumped out every 6 months at currently that costs about $700. We are trying to protect the investment, and we also have to have it inspected yearly at about $200. So far so good.

You can make a lot of money in any trade really, but no one tells you how much competition there is, and how great at marketing and lead generation you have to be in order to even have a chance.
