[Freash1]

If you want to always have work, perfect your craft. Keep striving. Keep pushing.

Mr. LA says do your best in all scenarios no matter if the haters hate.

In the end, you will be the last of the mohicans.

I still do mostly loan origination stuff but I'm doing more private assignments too. DOD, divorce, and expert witness testimony.

I just got my buddy certified!

2023 and 2024 were slower for sure but I managed to pull 200k each year. 2022 700k!

I keep thinking you're in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, the most populous metropolitan area in US. So many homes to appraise. Of course, if I was there I would do the high end ones.

Especially new construction my friend. Literally go in one house to the next. No appointments. I have the master key and I just go.

I just realize that you're in CA. You understand how paying six digit figure taxes is so terrible.

You must be still young and ambitious.
I lost my mojo 10 years ago and just taking it easy now.

It's getting crazy for sure. Everything is expensive.
If you want to play, you gotta pay.

I just finished up a full gut remodel in a rental. Nearly 300k! 1900 sf. Unbelievable. I had a gc do it. Too expensive. I'm doing owner builder on a Jr adu now. About 70k for 550 sf. Way better.

I have some custom cabinets on order. Bro. $800 a linear foot!

$300,000 remodel is a lot of money. Did tenant leave the unit in a mess?
70K for 550 sf and if nicely remodeled could get good rent.

Bro. Fire dude! Tenant burned downed the house. Lol. Insurance saved me. I had to put in an extra 40 45k but I just did a full remodel so it's worth it. Lol. But, they also paid all the lost rent too! Lol
