I think the best thing a new real estate investor can do is move to a growth market. Dont fight supply constrained, established markets (like LA) move to where the opportunity is going - Dallas, Houston, PHX

Each crew did 3 roofs per day
We had 5 crews with 10 guys on a crew
From May - Oct we had 8 crews of 10 men and did 15+ roofs per day

Sometimes it’s just work…

Yesterday we drove to Phoenix and back in the same day - we are crazy right?

We left so cal at 8am - got to PHX at 1. I had 8 appointments lined up every half hour. Everyone was on time and we finished right at 5

We had a nice hotel booked in
