An old high school buddy of mine has a bold new business venture, and he wants me in on it with him.
I am still not quite sure, it sounds promising, but will require a lot of work on my end.
I wouldn’t need to invest money, but I would need to put in hundreds of hours of work from me and my team to make it happen. Maybe I should talk to the techs about it directly, and see if they want to risk the extra work for the possible financial reward. My buddy has a bunch of old shipping containers that he wants outfitted with climate control systems so he can rent them as apartments. He can handle the interior renovations, and he has a plumber and electrician on the payroll, but without climate control these containers simply won’t be livable. His pitch was for me and my HVAC techs to outfit all sixty of these containers with their own systems. We can definitely do that, but it will take a lot of time, and this is “spec” HVAC work which means we work for free, then get paid later when the units sell. This is a big risk, and risk is not something that plays into my long term plans for the HVAC company. I think that I will commit to installing six heating and cooling systems to start with, so that he can start showing them and have open houses. If money starts coming in, then he can pay for more HVAC work on the rest of the units.
