In part two of this Nailed It: The Construction and Real Estate Finances Podcast episode, hosts Jeremy Bottlinger and Ian Grove dig deeper into project fades, gains, and sandbagging, with a Wedding Crashers-style zing. They explain how project gains (extra profit) boost working capital by reducing overbillings, helping contractors secure more bonded work, while fades shrink margins and hurt financials. With their irreverent humor, they stress leaking gains gradually to avoid tax hits and financial waves, urging contractors to work with savvy CPAs to dodge "stupid tax" and optimize returns. Don't let fades sink your ship!
