Was anyone else a carpenter or tradesman before they got started??
I've been a carpenter for 10 yrs and I'm ready to quit and start my own business. I plan on flipping houses in the Pittsburgh area. I've run the numbers on properties and even being conservative, the results look great. I'm only 27, married no kids, $100k in retirement savings, very smart when it comes to finances. I figure if there is a time to try this the time is now. Im just having a hard time executing my plan, I'm excited but very nervous at the same time even when I know I can do this. How can I get over this? I'm thinking I'm just going to have to buy a house, tell my boss I'm done, and get the house done ASAP and listed for sale.
