Episode Synopsis

We’re back for Part 2 of my conversation with the Netflix-engineer-turned-contractor, and this time, we’re talking growth. In just under two years, he went from managing his first home renovation to juggling 40+ projects across the Bay Area. How did he scale so fast? What were the biggest challenges? And what would he do differently if he started over? We get into team building, client relationships, pricing transparency, and his philosophy on trust and accountability in the construction world. A must-listen for anyone thinking about scaling a service business or partnering with a contractor on an investment property.Places to find his work - ⁠aeroliving.co⁠; IG: @aeroliving.co or @tommythecontractorEpisode Breakdown:⏰ 00:00 - Intro💰 02:15 - How to save smartly in renovation🔧 05:20 - How to run a smooth renovation project🏘️ 11:20 - Bay Area flipping market deep-dive🎨 14:05 - Investor design for resale⚖️ 16:15 - Balancing scale and quality in projects🗂️ 18:30 - How to keep track of all the projects🌟 21:00 - Dream project💡 25:47 - Thoughts on FI after becoming a business owner🌐 29:27 - Online presence - aeroliving.co; IG: @aeroliving.co or @tommythecontractor🔚 29:48 - Wrap-up
