How I DIDN'T Become a Millionaire Overnight - The tips and Tricks I used to get there long term

[@flemingfamilyracing]

If I ever need an essay written you are the guy. Man you can talk and repeat yourself over and over And over and over and over again

[@GOOFLEr]

This is a really good video, no nonsense just talking no flashy editing, great job!

[@Eatongee]

Papa Al is an old school rebel! None of that over the shoulder seatbelt B/S for him!!!! "Back in my day we only had lap belts IF we had any seatbelts at all!"

[@axm203]

Haven’t checked into the channel in a while (been working and growing) but I’m happy to see in the last few videos I was able to catch up on; you’ve been taking us to school man! The amount of knowledge you’re sharing is truly inspiring. Thanks for being genuine for all these years! Can’t wait to see you climb higher in Florida!!

[@stephanief4359]

Rock on brother. You deserve everything you acquired!! No calculated risk, no return on investment!!! Your diversification is exceptional!!!

[@aaronbritt2025]

Instead of filling the dumpster, you should have run an ad, "everything free, come get it". I did that and stuff I thought nobody would want, someone took. When I bought my 20 foot Haulmark V-nose, I always wished I had got the 26' 10k trailer instead. I hope you don't regret getting the 20'. I also wished I had got the electric tongue jack.

[@TheSupervillain316]

I can imagine how much you accumulate over 14 years with a family of 5. I dread the day i have to move in that regard only. Memories are tough to leave that last close of the door

[@4himsanctified]

I've said it before, you have top shelf content and delivery. It's the stuff that professionals spend decades trying to hone and you pull it off organically w/o pretension.

[@justincase3192]

Have been following you for years, you were one of many that inspired me to get my dealers license. Licensed in CA in 2020. Its been rough, and a huge learning curve with zero experience in the industry, but nonetheless I'm living out a dream, hope to grow and see it through and follow in the same footsteps. Can't wait to see what you do next!

[@richardmorris7063]

I sure hope we continue to see Papa Al! You're whole family actually are great on the show. The wife's a good sport,the kids are well mannered. You're brother is cool to have on as well as dad but poppa Al is gonna be missed!

[@keemosaaby]

My mom turned 90 over the weekend! Bless your pappa and do your thing Craig! ♥️🎊🎊🎊🙏🏾💪🏾👍🏾👊🏾 much success to you!!

[@samidan91]

Happy birthday to your mom color I said hello

[@richardmorris7063]

Happy Birthday to her,mine is 93,her btother97,sister 95 & sis in law 93!

[@keemosaaby]

@samidan91 Thank you I surely will!

[@keemosaaby]

@richardmorris7063 WOW! Bless them all it's so great to hear!♥️🙏🏾

[@smoothrc28]

I don’t know where you get the energy!!! Or how you sleep!! So many things to think about!! Talk about multi tasking!! Seems like you don’t get headaches either!! With all the stress!! I would have a massive migraine!! I definitely wouldn’t sleep. Because my head would be racing all night!! On top of all that you have a KZbin channel and at the end of the video you explain everything!! I really give you a ton of credit! I really appreciate that!! I just subbed tonight and watched a bunch of your videos. I’ll keep watching even though you stress me out!! Lol!!😂 Keep doing what you’re doing.!! Also i wouldn’t give a crap about any hater’s!! 👍👍💪💪💪👍👍

[@southernshooter]

Some of the best videos ever. I know the wife and kids are going to enjoy more outside activities without all of the winter snow. Looking forward to seeing how everything evolves.

[@ignatiobuns4853]

Congrats Craig on all of your hard work and determination paying off! Would love to see a tour of your rental home. All the best to you and your family. 😊

[@joeevans4785]

Hey Craig! I just became a licensed new car dealer here in the state of Minnesota to start my new trailer dealership! I've been watching your videos for years and want to thank you for the inspiration to get my business started.

[@albertodiazpr]

I've been following your channel since the beginning. And you has done so many great things. And great things happen to good people. Even though I don't know you, I can feel how friendly and genuine you are. Welcome to my beloved state of Florida. Blessings to you and your family. 🙏

[@keving5452]

Craig, I don't know where you get all of that energy. Thanks for all the great content.

[@joepierson3859]

You forgot to talk about social media income

[@chriskozan]

Thanks Craig- good video. Good insight on the origins. Im glad you are remaking things to work for you

[@moconno1]

Hey Craig, you are way behind me. I sold my home in Merrimack NH in 1983 and moved to Delray Beach, Fl with no job, a wife, a 1 year old son and and another on the way. The first year was hell for many reasons but I never looked back.👍😎

[@azspotfree]

Made a couple of dollars myself, you would sure never hear me on the internet bragging about how rich I was. It's just crass beyond words

[@brantyancey7028]

Ok Craig, I thought this was going to be just a flex video but I was wrong. Very inspiring and well done. Great job.!

[@nelsonserrate9281]

Keep it going brother! As a Florida native, find yourself some land and build yourself a house away from HOA's. Great video and keep em' coming.

[@margaretwilkinson9140]

you worked incredibly hard and deserve everything you have! love the Montreal hair stripe btw...

[@samson2968]

It's amazing how you redefine your past business history as being so in depth and careful before jumping into anything new, Even though you obviously jumped into that vacation house that ended up needing to be torn down after your extensive research into it. Your ego also shows every time you put on blast how you became a millionaire instead of just saying that you are successful.. Most people that are truly successful don't feel the need to throw out there that we are millionaires. There really isn't any reason to put that out there other than trying to pump up your ego. It's cool that you are successful but a little bit of humilitary also comes in to play.

[@byronwalden3207]

So, you just did the same thing you accused Craig of doing when you wrote "Most people that are truly successful don't feel the need to throw out there that WE are millionaires." For some reason you felt the need to inform us that YOU are a millionaire as well. Don't be ashamed, be proud that you have achieved success in your life just like Craig.

[@MattHrela]

He needs to make content bro

[@samson2968]

​@byronwalden3207 Actually you're wrong.I did not create a youtube channel to pump up my own ego and your thought process is flawed.

[@LarryLittle-m5g]

Craig, don’t listen to the Haters!! I commend your success, and the educational format you are intending to promote. Others whine, moan, tell you how they would do it , etc.. I retired comfortably at 60, incorporating similar strategies and tools. You seem to just want to show others it can be done, and make it interesting. Best to you and the family! Looking forward to more videos, and learning what your new endeavors will be, ( and the price of the Range Rover you bought!).

[@ddemier]

I think your impulsive buying contributes to all thos accumulated junk. Keep posting more about starting up a business! That will be GOLD content.

[@chrismaynard7251]

Craig, You made the right move to cash out! No Doubt this bubble is going to explode. Build up that capital and go all in when it pops. The car business has been tough for independents for a while and not sure it will get better anytime soon. Keep grinding man!

[@LASUPERLAWYERS]

Love the vids and the can do attitude about everything. Keep up the good work sir.

[@andreweguenther6080]

It’s not only good for others to hear how you got where you got, it’s good for yourself as well. Great video, keep up the great work

[@dameionmclean8959]

Here in Florida I’ll definitely take a start up car , been watching you for awhile now keep up the good work and teaching us knowledge

[@poonpoonsmith399]

Congratulations on your move. You worked hard for everything you have. Don't listen to the haters. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@mattdannald]

Not a hater here, but this seems to be nothing but a brag video.

[@davidberger2629]

Smart move Greg . I moved to Flordia durning Covid but unfortunately missed boat on buying . Waiting on this drop as well to buy a home and investment properties. I moved my dealership from NY to Flordia as well great market down here

[@cyber8east]

Great video...so inspiring and raw to the point. :) Keep Flying Craig...

Good luck!! Wish you all the best... been watching awhile (to my wife, you're known as the American Ninja dude, lol)..

Good job Craig, you needed a change. 👍

[@josephvantreeck2989]

thanks Craig, good luck in the new venture

[@LS51GNS]

hi craig im based in the UK and currently holidaying in Gran canaria. been surfing youtube by the pool and came across your channel. I just watched this video with interest as it quite closely resembles my situation i don't own the vast industrial properties you have, but the way you have taken time to ensure the next step up is financially affordable is exactly my thinking as well. a good friend of mine is kev talbot (another youtuber), and i have spent the last 10 days making notes on how i can join the bandwagon myself using my business and toys. I hope to be a successful youtuber one day to run alongside the business i have built over the last 20 years ps renting a property with cash in the bank ready for the bubble to burst GENIUS

[@dustoff1472]

Recommend putting in diamond plate runners in your trailer. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

[@jbtOO7]

🌴Thinking because getting straps to secure cars and trucks but need an anchoring set up to keep the cars or trucks from moving the straps would hold down a any vehicle really but in your case you can hit up every storage spot and place all of your vehicles in them and let the storage facility take the hit. But from your videos it was flipping that was a problem for your neighbors. So an anchoring setup no different than you know wood deck what was anchoring supports instead of where the stilts would go an ability to hook up the straps to hold down the car or truck. Or some kind of drill bit but a 5 foot concrete with a buckle for straps to go through.

[@adamzc87]

Enjoyed the video, keep up the content!

[@shawnk5170]

Love this video I just turned 36 have had my car lot 7 years now and I’m slowly moving up. I’m in California so it’s a bit more expensive here 😂 but seeing this gave me even more motivation knowing I’m making good moves and things don’t happen overnight.

[@richhoops2413]

Good for you man. I respect the hustle. I always "like".

[@Tonya704]

I’m 52 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify my portfolio.

[@NianLisa]

bitcoin does not pay any yield but will reward you with growth that you can't find in any other asset class

[@DannielleRosales]

The key to financial stability is having the right investment suggestions for a diverse portfolio. Many investment failures and losses happen when you invest without proper guidance.

[@Annette_Lisa]

I went from no money to lnvest with to busting my A** off on Uber eats for four months to raise about $20k to start trading with Evelyn Infurna. I am at $128k right now and LOVING that you have to bring this up here

[@arloc24]

Evelyn Infurna Services has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's

[@BestoFornitero]

Many new tra-ders struggle without proper guidance. I found success through Evelyn Infurna's expertise.

[@almarkowbender]

Can't imagine what it's like in his house. Dad constantly worried about money and physical possessions.

[@505fastlife6]

Sounds like your hating because the man is successful?

[@almarkowbender]

[@znogaragego3421]

Good luck in FL. No more rust nor state inspections.

[@tommorris5969]

Hey Craig hard work gets good rewards. That's the lesson on your channel. Best wishes always to you and your family. Cars are better in Florida no rust and clean. Lol

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

HOA. Run by school yard bullies who never grew up! NO THANK YOU! Next, we will have a video on all the fines he gets slapped with due to their rules!

[@-JonnyBoy-]

He is renting the place.

[@kylemag1139]

It’s just a preference, relax!

[@aaronbritt2025]

You know how I dealt with that? I became the VP. I stopped the nit-picky rules.

[@ronaldcarnevale3424]

I was just watching the video you made after your move to Florida. It's good to see how you helped so many people. On the other hand sad soon after the move the hurricane came. Ok so now you've helped out. How about this....I see you handed our $500. If you gave more good for you. But here's my thing. Clearly as you mentioned you're a millionaire and probably a multimillionaire. Good for you. How about this.... Why not get on the bandwagon, get in touch with the hundreds of ultra rich TV personalities, actors and media people. Start a game plan, plan of action to all gather along with you to help the people stricken by this terrible hurricane. Just think by just your initiative to get this going would not only make your name, your KZbin channel and just pure self honor it would be

[@brandonmorris2513]

Craig, the only thing I don't like about your videos is how the timeline jumps around like crazy. My OCD can't handle it !! LOL

[@leevandyke8524]

Congrats on the move, you’ll spend more time in New Hampshire in July and August of every year because it’s much cooler out there at that time. I moved south to South Carolina 10 years ago. Should’ve moved here 25 years ago.

Good video, especially the ending.

[@rodlow31]

Congratulations 🍾 It’s been a life long dream of mine to own a car dealership. Hopefully one day I can live the dream.

[@jasonsasmanGTR]

Hey Craig. Is there anyway you start your new 'buying and selling' business from the very beginning? Like a challenge of "can i start from nothing?" Like you did those years ago. So that would basically allow us (that are starting a car business as well) and watch a pro at it,but with similar resources to us (lowly beginners). So lets say "Starting a car empire with nothing but a $1000!"

[@carlgruver695]

No way i would get a hoa property in Florida I live in Florida to many people want to control others unless you live in Crystal River

[@matthewsmith2362]

Dude I moved up to crystal river Jan 2020 I had 11 acres across from the hay farm with the shamrock logo. I forgot the name. It ended up being to hard to live out there with no family or friends, we lasted a year and sold the house and tractor and moved back down to Dunedin. It was nice while it lasted tho. I lived next to this cool ass dude name big gene, he ran the nuke plant. We spent lots of brass into the berm behind our properties

[@kevinleonard62]

He said earlier that he is renting

[@andydhillon1977]

He's renting.

[@builtfromthebottom]

I own a couple of commercial buildings very similar to yours here in south Florida And I have a dealership. I think it is a just matter of time until we run into each other I’m in the Orlando metro 2-3 days out of the week.

[@rickywest8386]

Craig maybe you need to slow down a little and quit buying unnecessary. That way you don’t accumulate so much stuff that you really don’t need. You seem really stressed buddy. You need to take care of yourself and get in a position where you can spend more time with your family before they are going off to college. Congratulations on your success . Just remember your health is just as important brother.

[@johnmarino4085]

Some Florida cities have HOA like rules. Cape Coral for instance don’t allow RV or utility trailer parking and other restrictions.

[@RaspingPompano2]

That trailer is amazing. I thought you were closing the dealership?

[@jorgelopez-gr3lq]

Smart move waiting to buying a home in Florida with market down here so high & interest rates. Wait it out and look for a home with a couple acres of land & no HOA then you can park & build whatever u want on your land.

[@kevinmccarey5015]

Hello Craig, Welcome to Fla, I am already here, wish you well 🙏

[@robblack7560]

Every future success Craig from Northern Ireland.

[@richardmorris7063]

As far as a dealership in Florida, you'll start buying a car here or there,before you know it you'll have a car lot w/50 cars.

[@WTF-sh4is]

Boy, I would be so pissed as a tenant trying to run a business and my landlord stores all of his sh!t box vehicles all around the entire building!! Would move instantly. Damn Craig, have some respect for your tenants!!

[@hansjensen7823]

Imagine a world where tenants can have a choice of renting there or not

You should give the things that you don’t need to your viewers!! There’s people that is really struggling right now…

[@Quinn44444]

I recommend a dark wood stain on the plywood interior for your trailer, it’ll transform it and it doesn’t cost you very much

[@tho464]

On the trailer I can’t imagine not having the aluminum floor with tie downs or wheel blocks. And safety chains are almost dragging which is a no-no.

[@JSMZeez]

I’m not sure how New Hampshire rust is with winter cars, but I would think buying rust free Florida cars and selling them in NH would be a good selling point. Especially if you making many trips back and forth anyway.
