Got a friend that makes 6 figures at his day job, still does this as a side hustle. Buys busted washers and dryers on FB marketplace, picks 'em up, fixes and flips 'em. Makes a good bit more than beer money.

The work is hilariously simple. Parts and tools cost about nothing, all standard stuff. Went over to pick up a dryer puller, had 2 sorts in his box. One fits 3 kinds of dryers, the other fits the rest. $5 part, if that. Probably $3.50 if you buy a 20 lot.

Been thinking on getting on this since he dropped out. Divorced his wife and travels with his gf in a nice camper, livin' the dream.
