2010 Is Going To Be HUGE!

custrel · 09-12-2009, 03:48 AM

Oh yeah, and don't forget that if the national health bill passes, those of you who aren't currently paying for your employees health care will be taking on a hefty expense.

On the bright side, it may turn out to be a good thing for those of use who already pay employee health benefits, since we are already used to factoring in those costs.

fast fred · 09-12-2009, 09:39 AM

so the verdict is......

not only are we competing with unemployed auto workers who have become handy man carpenters we're now going to compete with commercial carpenters and unemployed union lackys who now think they can remodel a bathroom.

at age fourteen I thought I had it figured out until I broke a light fixture and dinged a corner on a sheet carrying drywall into the house. Everyone smiled and said it was ok, cause I was an amped up kid trying to work hard.

What about a 34 year old doing that kind of stuff?

Buy 'Fooled By Randomness' for more on this, it will shock you.

You can send me my check around April 2009.

So yes, I'm guaranteeing it.

Man, I hope you are right Mike. I need it bad.

Good thing April 2009 has come and gone because all my money went to to pay all those banks to continue to operate, only for them to close my accounts, go figure.

Why is that my Great Grandparents didn't get loans for what they needed but, now I don't know ANYONE without a credit account, yet the media keeps telling us it's our fault?

Angdeer · 09-21-2009, 02:06 PM

Lets hope!

SelfContract · 09-21-2009, 02:41 PM

Yep, it's gonna be a HUGE.. HUGE...HUGE... budget/spending deficit for the Fed in 2010 (Obama said so!) .. That's for SURE!...

NCTRIM · 09-21-2009, 02:59 PM

Well if your a home builder on any level your fuct in 2010 just like 08 09 we re going to be down for a long time boys lets face it washington cares not about the hard hats

My question is this: You get $4,500 to trade in a clunker (which they then destroy; what can be recycled is, but the engine is not) toward a $10k - $30k car ...OR you get $8,000 off your taxes to buy a $200k home

Anyone else see the problem with the math there?

Agree 100% Mike! Prepare for the worst, Be Ready for the Best. I have personally seen many businesses cutting W A Y back. They cut back so much that when I go to them for their services...they can't provide them. I have experienced this with three businesses in the last 30 days.

Ya have to cut expenses, but you can't cut your ability to make money. If you have a crew of 10, figure out how to keep that crew busy, even if its not profitable during the short term because if you start getting busy, you can easily start taking more profitable jobs, you can't do anything if you don't have your crew in place.

There are people and countries getting VERY RICH right at this moment. They are not seeing anything, not a cent yet, but they are getting rich, why? Because they are buying on the down side, when the recovery happens, they will earn unimaginable returns on their investments. Others will then jump on and try to do the same, but the scale will already be rising and just like 2006, many will get burned, but the ones who bought on the down side always make money.

This is a good thing. Commercial Real Estate as an investment is in trouble. That is, like many of us that hold or held stocks, their portfolio is down. However, the trend in lower commercial rental rates is fueling NEW BUSINESS! Many start ups are now able to capitalize on the lower cost of commercial space and OPEN NEW BUSINESSES. Do I have the stats? Can I quote Reuters? NO! My facts are from the street, not what some newspaper reporter tells us after having $100 lunch with some Real Estate Execs. Within a 10 mile radius of my house, there are more than a dozen MAJOR shopping Center Make Overs! More than 20 Applications for new housing sub divisions and these shopping centers...they are filling up to 90% or better occupancy with NEW businesses.

Now, you may drive down the road and see a few dozen shopping centers that look to be in trouble. 1-5% occupancy rate or completely vacant. However, a brief trip to the towns building department and you will find that they actually pushed the tenants out because the center is in the approval stages for a complete make over. No one does this without already securing anchor stores which usually make demands as to which businesses they want or which must go.

For you Union Guys, this means that you should begin seeing commercial work pour in within the next 6 months to 2 years.

Not entirely true if you prepare with increased inventory, go on a hiring bing etc. But, with some really good guys laid off right now, it is a good time to re look at your crew and rebuild it with the best out there and figure out how to streamline inventory, mobilization, estimating or accounting.

When you're slow, it is the BEST time to revamp your business without too much disruption to the every day work load.

Don't know what you mean with the "Last 8 Years of Downfall" If your business did not do well in the last 8 years, look for another line of work. The last 3 years might have been tough for some, but before that...anyone was able to make a living, buy a home and do well in the stock market.

I honestly do not believe that ONE man is personally responsible for our success as a country or are failure as a country. Without the support of the Senate and Congress, the President, whom ever he is, can not accomplish anything. Our fore fathers set it up that way so we did not have Kings and Queens ruling our land. It must be a large group for different backgrounds.

From Condo Boards to Local Politics all the way up to State and National, I hear more people complain than are willing to step up and help. If more people would get involved in politics, there would be much less corruption.

My Eyes!!

Just heard a report today on the radio. Top states for average income.....drum roll please.....#1 Maryland! Exactly where everyone from Washington lives. Hmmm, go figure.

1% of the population has 95% of the money. So, that leaves all of use to fight over the last 5%. Good times...

NCTRIM · 09-27-2009, 05:19 PM

Well good for them I m glad our hard work is helping them keep the CC membership I mean really life without fefe and chip !!!! at the club what kind of life is that! Keep working boys the life you save may just be your state rep and one day he may just maybe give back to the hard hats that built his house office car CC ect ......I m not being god like but if you ask me with out the builders of things the rich would have nothing ....! stand fast brothers

SpectrumLLC · 09-27-2009, 09:34 PM

All then folks I know in the top 5 % are buliders and developers, quite frankly they are bleeding cash now. But... all have the stones to keep buying and developing. Yeah, lots of others (attorneys, Docs, geeks etc.) hold and hoard. Most Attorneys I know represent developers and they are the bulls, along with their clients (Dr's, Chiropractors and the like.) I see it weekly at local government meetings.

Professionals are waitng to spend. Market is at a bottom, smart ones by at fire sale prices. Look for a big 2010 for tenent fitouts in suburbs, along with well prepared, well designed, attractive communities.

I have been saying this in western pa for over a year. Product sells! Time to weed out the weak, I have been at this for less time than allot of you (10 years) but every boom in the biz bring a boat full of new guys with a pickup and a ladder. Now we are getting back to those whom belong as contractors. Conceiencious, concerned, inteligent, responsibable, etc.

New to this board sorry to preach or rant.

P.S. spelling may be bad, can't figure out the spell check down load.
