that's big ask in a big vacuum.

we remodeled and refinanced during covid. numerous crews just didn't show up or walked off the job because Lennar or KB homes offered them 30 homes of work instead of my contractors 1 off. we had to go back out to bid for 3 different crews because they said screw it to the local contractor for the box store.

in the same vacuum, the local contractor should have said "F you out of town box store tract homes builders that are going to just sell these to an out of town investor who's going to rent it out forever. i'm going to go work for this local contractor to rebuild a local house with a local family."

i'll shite in one and and wish in the other.

guess what? all those homes turned into rentals.
