@keyan_concrete We call them dip pools or cocktail pools. A couple companies in the Nashville area that specialize in them. Great for Airbnb homes

This is my next big move in my business. I’ve been working on the back end for months and it’s getting close to ready to push marketing.
Compact pools for the average backyard. High quality, easy to maintain pools that are a main feature of your outdoor living but not a yard consuming headache.
There are already plenty of people doing this like Texas MiniPools, Texas Tiny Pools and more. Now I am bringing it to my market soon using my years of concrete and pool building experience to create an ultra refined offering.
My plan is to build these pools extremely efficiently, tracking every part and every step and task completed to continuously refine the process.
In the beginning my offer will be ~60 days to be safe, with the goal to have a 30 day completion time from permit approval to finished transformation.
Taking my knowledge from larger pools that I’ve build, the pools will be constructed using an insulated concrete construction with heat/chill included to give you what I think of as a three season pool, maximizing the time the pool can be enjoyed by your family.
Super excited to start marketing this and getting calls from people that want to me to come upgrade their space!
(drafted options sheet, 2 x rendered designs, large flagship pool i built last year)

Finally got the stock tank pool put together just in time for the long weekend. Baby girl loves it. Had an idea while floating around in here. I’m sure it already exists. See how small my backyard is? My whole neighborhood is like this. All of north Dallas is like this. Is there a “small backyard pool guy”? Someone who only builds micro pools? I heard a few people in my hood have one. No clue how you get an excavator or any equipment back here. Is this a niche or do all pool builders take on tiny backyard projects?

@Co11egeLandlord @Jacob_Naviaux Wow. This guy is a total POS. How does he sleep at night.
English
@Jacob_Naviaux Who would’ve guessed that the guy who cuts corners being a flipper is also a scumbag wholesaler!
Openly admitting this stuff is insane.

I don’t pull permits on my flips. On the SPD in GA, there’s a question that asks if permits were not pulled when work done required them. I mark Yes, explain what was done, and tell the buyer’s agent we do quality renovations. Every time I’ve had to do this, no issues. Here’s my thinking: Pulling permits means bringing things up to code. That costs more money AND increases holding costs while you wait on inspectors at every stage. Worst case? Someone tattles on me, stop work order, pay the small fine, then pull the permit. I’m going my route every time. Caveat: I would not do this when doing additions that are obvious from the street or flipping in historic districts. Disclaimer: laws vary drastically state-to-state and city-to-city. Do your due diligence before running this approach. Just sharing what works in my market.

Fixer upper gets listed for $250k.
I offer $180k with 3% commission — I’m a licensed agent and my company is the buyer.
Plan is to wholesale it for $190k. Needs $75k in work and will be worth $320k after repairs.
Listing agent says too low.
4 weeks later our CRM notifies me the list price dropped to $225k. I follow up. Agent still says $180k is too low.
Another month goes by. CRM notifies me again — price drops to $210k. I follow up. Agent says they think it’ll work.
I draft the offer, send it over, and it gets accepted.
We price the deal at $190k and sell it — signed contract and EMD in hand.
While we’re still in DD, I tell the agent my buyer needs a $20k price reduction to move forward, but they’re ready to wire EM and waive the rest of DD.
Seller meets us halfway. Price drops to $170k.
We make $25k.
That’s the exact play we run wholesaling MLS properties.

Custom Timber framed cabana I built a couple of summers ago. $20K just in the Davinci roof shingles.

I’ve seen a full concrete slab in the crawlspace before. Guy had a mechanics creeper and just rolled around wherever needed.

This is extraordinary.

@TheFortressInc It’s required with the utility company in my area. It helps if there is ever a leak you can isolate it to interior or exterior. Irrigation needs a backflow as well that gets inspected annually.
English
@mtamick Great question, Matthew. We usually just run the systems off the domestic meter unless the buyer asks for a dedicated irrigation meter. It really only makes sense from a cost benefit standpoint on huge residential or commercial yards 👊🏽
English
We install underground sprinkler systems at every one of the single family houses we build. They’re a huge selling point for buyers! 👊🏽 Our landscaping crew is currently working at our Travers Circle home.
The two rectangular boxes in the pic are valve boxes. These house the solenoid valves that turn on the different zones of the sprinkler system.
The box on the left-hand side with the four blue water lines is the primary distribution point. These blue lines will carry irrigation water to the different parts of the yard.
The white PVC pipe entering from the right is our main water supply. It passes through the box on the right where our master shut-off valve is located, before connecting to the box on the left.

@trappology That Navien may also have a built in recirc pump. Check the model number. Should also be a setting on the panel you can select internal or external mode. Try that and you may get instant hot
English
@mtamick Yea that’s a good way to think about tankless. Endless hot water. I was thinking more heat on demand knowing it has to clear the line first. Constantly reheating a recirc loop when my runs are so short didn’t make sense to me
English
Tankless hot water heaters are in. No recirculation loop - I didn’t think it made sense with tankless

I’m about to submit my application to be a fully licensed GC in the state of TN. Plan is to develop some customs spec homes and some client based builds as well. Thought this would be my end game but have done some thinking and considering really hard getting back into manufacturing. This time as the owner. SMB manufacturing will have a much better opportunity to scale and exit years down the road. Lots of people on X getting into manufacturing with no background and here I am with a 4 year degree and 15 years in it. Odds might be in my favor.

Yep those are the doors. Bathroom and laundry each have custom cabinetry, as well as a Mitsubishi mini split ceiling cassette, tiled floors. Outdoor kitchen cabinets are expensive. They cook in their other outdoor kitchen that is down next to the house lol. I built it first. They also have a custom control panel for all lights, speakers, and bromic heaters. Also can use an app as well. A lot of details you can’t see in the pictures.
English
It is a beautiful job and the whole property is gorgeous, I’m just struggling with the price. I did see more pics that show a kitchen in there, but I didn’t see anything to cook on or an outdoor grill. They spent a bunch on gas lines. 😆 Are the two $13k doors the ones on the bath and laundry?
English
$200K in Nashville. Did this one for $350K , bath, laundry, outdoor kitchen cabinets, bronco heaters, fireplace. It adds up. Also access and protecting the existing pool/yard add up.

Client wants you to build them a 400 sq ft pool house with small kitchenette, bathroom and pergola. What’s your quote?
English
@LovesDogsandUSA Just some of the travertine around the pool that we had to demo for the structure. Bathroom on the left and laundry on the right
English
@mtamick That didn’t include the pool or any of the decking? 350k for the small white open air space with the two enclosed wings - guess that’s the bathroom and laundry?
English
@mtamick I think I know that house. Last year drove by that neighborhood
