Are there any topsoil or dirt experts out there who can help? I have a metric f*ck ton of super high quality topsoil that hasn’t been disturbed since the glaciers receded into Lake Erie. I have a buyer for ALL of it. But I want to monetize it to 10x their offer. Am I crazy?

@maxfisherRE Pricing now vs what it was a year ago on pre-fab steel warehouse buildings is technically down, at least from the pricing I got initially to what I got a few days go. Overall contractors seem more eager to compete on price now vs a year ago

Good morning from Phoenix! Those mountains were a welcome sight with the sunrise, but all I could stare at was this gorgeous small bay & SS facility across the highway. 😍 Which one of you owns it?

Whatever it is that you woke up to go out and do today, go do it well. What does that mean? It means to do exactly what you said you were going to do. If you do that AND you do it well, you’ll be in the top 1%. It really is that simple. LFG!!
