LOADOUT DAY
What is loadout day? 🏡 🚮 💴 📦
When working with investment properties for resale, the longer you hold them, the less money you make. So, toward the end of a project, you tend to stack contractors on top of each other just to get it finished.
The painter is doing final touch-ups while the cleaners are trying to clean the floors. The electrician is installing fixtures after the final paint, while the plumber is working around freshly caulked and siliconed vanities.
Then comes the loadout.
Everything that didn’t fit. Everything that was wrong. Everything that was extra. And a whole bunch of other crap that nobody knows how it got there or where the heck it came from??
Pictures are this afternoon. Showings start tomorrow. The open house is this weekend.
So what happens?
This. 😂
Everything has to go back to the shop at once, where it’ll eventually be sorted, added back into inventory, and staged for the next project.
Proper planning, carefully scheduling contractors, and completing projects in stages will always be the most efficient way to do this business.
However, we all know things never go according to plan, and sometimes loadout day looks exactly like this.
Good thing we have a shop!!
