[@billboyd1211]

Seems there are no conversion companies of the east coast, yet the interest in my conversion is overwhelming.

[@davidwardlow721]

Which the current shortage of rv / class c and class b vehicles the demand is increasing. Now add the international travel restrictions there seems to be a perfect storm type scenario for this business. What happens though in 2 years? Is this more of a fad trend or a natural progression in the travel industry 🤔

[@bobbyjohnston3916]

I just finished a conversion in a Ram Promaster and I have been overwhelmed with people wanting to look at it. My plan now is to sell it and do another one and create my own business.

[@jevanbuilds8312]

I started my van business in October of 2021. Had a second van lined up before I even finished the first. Im thinking I jumped in at the right time. However I did have questions on what type of licensing they got to build their company and stay within compliance.

Rent is too high , they should expand now . And more people are willing to live like this and not own a home . Less expensive

[@UpFlip]

Very true! You can easily live in these!

[@ay3514]

Yuuup and move whenever and wherever you want!

Not if there's no toilet or shower, which they didn't mention. I'd much rather a typical class b to full-time.

[@extremelylucky999]

So they earn about $74 per hour before paying employees. This is based on her saying they make about $20k per build. Those margins seem awfully low. I wonder if shifting to focusing on renting for 2-3 years, and then selling (exiting) each vehicle would be a more efficient business model?

[@erikadee8668]

I wouldn’t want to buy it after it’s got 300,000 miles on it.

[@attainableaudio4533]

I'm guessing this is after paying the employees and everything else, would be interested to know how much is made from rentals on top of this.

[@gvue4396]

Any owner that says "this business is not for everybody" says this bc they don't want more competition

[@davidwardlow721]

Great job explaining /covering the business aspects. One question. If profit was about 20k per van sales price on Average was? 80k cost 100k price? Up to 200k sales price? Would it be sustainable with a 20% margin? Oh 1 more question what do you believe the roi average time is on rentals? 2yrs?

[@UpFlip]

Try reaching out to the company David to get some of the more specific van conversion business questions you have answered. Thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate your support of the channel.

[@KorraTheFrenchie]

She said 80-100k to build a van including the van. Is that their cost, or what they’re charging customers?

[@willywonka077]

You gotta be crazy to spend $100000 on that what the heck

[@erikadee8668]

Right? You could get a decent camper with a shower, kitchen, and living space for that.

[@erikadee8668]

I wonder if people would be interested in buying a build with used materials. It would be more affordable and in my opinion, have more character and look better. These builds look very plain. Also with the price, I feel like you may as well buy a camper that has way more space and amenities.

[@jameslanders6170]

Love it.

[@brinkxmusic]

Soo , my question is. If you buy a van for $50k, convert it for $30k and sell it for $120k do you pay tax’s on the whole $120k of income that you get from flipping the van?

[@Voltomess]

Seriously peolople are paying 50k for a job? don't you think that profit is ridiculous?

[@Hairmaidenindia]

@@Voltomess How much is Pfizer making in profit right now again ?

[@ingvarb8863]

no you only pay tax on the profit (40k)

[@ingvarb8863]

and i highly doubt that to convert is 30k

@@UpFlip Im considering buying a M1083, or similar, to build a tiny house, travel and be a ski bum in for several years. Im wondering if, after traveling, i could get the money i put into it back plus some. I know i probably wont even hit minimum wage for the hours spent learning and building but, i would like to sell the vehicle for a down payment on some land

300 a night too high

[@galiae.israel827]

Not really think about it if you were renting a car at enterprise then renting a hotel it’ll probably be around $300 a day on average

did she say about what her profit would be on a van with an expense of about 80-100k? really considering getting a promaster, converting it just for me, but maybe also putting it up for sale after a trip or two, disregard, @ 11:55 she says profit is about $20k for her builds

Always here watching your vids guys. This one's a bit short in my opinion, but I've been able to learn many things from it. 1)Partnerships are super important. The more, the better. 2)provide your customers with discounts and additional services 3)it's never late to get started 4)keep your foot on the gas 5)there's lots of expenses in this specific market 6)marketing strategy isn't an important thing if you want your business to be local.

[@euromaxtv9279]

@@UpFlip suggest me what kind of business will go to Russia)). 80% of successful business ideas in America will not work in Russia. There is a different mentality here. Paradoxes. The clans of the family of officials, but the detachment of the poor (every man for himself), corruption and bribery, the melancholy of people and the passionate desire to survive. Hopelessness and apathy. In Russia, either very rich or very poor people. I had 5 stores, but people didn't buy because they were on low-salary loans. Maybe then something should be done for the rich? they are despondent, they are bored with idleness, because the wives of deputies buy handbags for $ 200,000, and deputies watch for $ 1 million. Let's invent a business for the rich. A person does not buy anything until he sees it. We need to make a consumer demand.

[@keithwisdom1663]

They would do better reducing price to make it more affordable by getting cheaper items I think they are overcharging for labor I thought most folk who do van life are not rich Who is spending 100 k Probably have to hire more employees because lower price would increase volume 100k I would get better looking van Those vans look used

so fake.This cant be a business model for sure. You guys are literally trying to say we work for Jesus 😄All the figures and hours are not true.

[@joshuadabling]

Question, why we will pay 120k for a van... when you can get a bigger Rv and much more for that price... its great idea but it seem to me the price is to high for what its is. Perhabs becouse its metal and custom buil?

[@mrpointblankreality]

Vans are a little less conspicuous and therefore can be parked in more places than a camper, for longer periods of time. Also, vans are typically smaller and easier to navigate through cities and towns vs a camper/rv/motorhome. Thats the appeal of "Van Life"

[@KikaWaiAlae]

I’m in the process of researching to purchase a RV to rent. After watching this video I may consider building to sell. I have no experience in either. Any words of wisdom?
