    Here’s the kicker for most people, THOUGHT EXPERIMENT TIME!!! : for non home owners, how far would you move, and what kind of a career change would you accept in order to be guaranteed an actual house with a mortgage you can definitely afford even serving French fries at McDonalds, and is guaranteed to be paid off within 15yrs? Would you walk away from your current career carte blanche? Cash out your retirement and work construction on homes with the understanding one of the homes you work on is yours at a cost you WILL be able to afford when they are all completed? I personally can’t think of a job I wouldn’t do except prostitution, and naked body shows, meaning I would clean toilets, I would clean dog shit, I would clean up after nasty sex shows so long as i got proper biohazard protection gear, I would walk away from a 20+ yr career as an IT Engineer to learn basic and then advanced construction. I bet I’m not alone.
