    Excavation startup (side biz)…your thoughts/advice?

    @kittyio For me, I was always a small fry, so $15k was a big job for me. But if you are doing $15 k jobs every week, maybe that's not a big job for you. I think it's more about the client than the amount though. Working for a developer, working on a government public works project, those...

    How to reason with someone who agrees to an estimate then asks for money off?

    @celtish The public, in general is too stupid to deal with hourly. They would rather be overcharged greatly than pay hourly and save money. They just can't deal with it.

    Customer can’t afford to pay

    @oncedepressed I work in the home services industry. And I'm a homeowner. I have never met a home service provider that didn't charge a diagnostic fee for mechanical issues. Remodels or something like that are different. But when a tech has to actually remove parts of the home and start...

    @skwebber Yep, they will take a deep dive into your finances and find the most advantageous path forward. I prefer large independent brokers instead of banks.

    What to do? 5 years in tech

    @skwebber You should be able to qualify for a new home with no other hoops. I'd talk to a mortgage broker, get the paperwork front loaded, then start shopping with an agent. A broker will be able to get you pre-qualified and can coach you through the whole process. They would (should) be...

    What to do? 5 years in tech

    @skwebber So you may be able to qualify for a loan on a duplex. If you can get total rent 25% higher than the mortgage, you can apply for another loan on a new house without the first mortgage counting against your debt to income ratio. Two duplexs would be 3 rents, plus a roof over your head...

    Should I join my family business?

    @annshe Being fresh out of a ba or ma you are undereducated because real world has nothing to do with your education. I think you have a wild overestimation of your abilities after being in school. There is a reason you intern for a few years in business, law etc. And economics especially isn't...
