I did the same kind of thing he did, bought a meth lab in 2011 for 50k owner carry contract, evicted the meth heads (that was fun) then gutted it and spent a few years sleeping on the floor, working full time for $16 an hour at day and fixing up the place at night. Had an electrician and plumber friend come show me how to do stuff and help me out for pretty cheap. Sold it in 2020 for 175k when I got married and used that and the new wife’s credit score to get our family house where it’s safe to have kids
A lot of luck and a lot of work. It’s not easy and there was a lot of luck involved for sure.
It’s cool that you were able to improve your situation with a lot of luck, hard work and sacrifice but a basic middle class existence shouldn’t require a lot of luck.
100% no argument at all. I feel very lucky that I was able to do it, and very sad that that’s what it takes….
