135/ So, anyway, 5 years ago I was bankrupt, forced to leave my home, unemployed. Then I hustled. HARD. For 5 years. Cold-called. Upselled. Asked my friends for leads. Five years later I'm married, own a 5,000 ft^2 house on 56 acres (debt free), have a small pile of savings.

136/ Is this EXACTLY the path you'll take? No. I knew how to code, maybe you don't (tho I've learned several new languages over 5 yrs, and you can too). Will you make EXACTLY the same cash I did? No. Maybe more, maybe less. Is this GUARANTEED to work?

138/ This thread is not said out of bragging, or out of lack of sympathy. It is said EXPLICITLY BECAUSE OF SYMPATHY. The secrets of life are not hidden. They're right out in the open. They're just hard work.

140/ Yep! Rehabbing a house is a second job that almost any able bodied man can do. Learn on the job, acquire skills and tools as you do it. And the sense of pride? Incalculable.https://twitter.com/micahodor/status/1109460443582685185 …
