When a builder asks how moving into the houses themselves.
I didn’t make much on those projects
— I earned my wages during construction,
but there were no real
profits to split. My agreement with my
partners didn’t have any provision for
me to be paid a management fee if
they decided to move into the homes
themselves. That was a rookie mistake
— if I had it to do again, I’d have a
contract that included a builder’s fee
for me in that event.
My partners had an initial disappointment
when they had to move
into the homes instead of raking in a
nice profit. But we won’t know the end
of the story until
