Description

In this mini-sode I *somewhat* disparage the real estate community, wannabe builder tech bros, and more. Hopefully you learn a few things to keep you safe and profitable while you're out there in the spec building trenches. Y'all have a great end to the year, and by the way, we have some video episodes coming out asap. Stay tuned.
