Yes, yes, no. I don't market well either. I'm a small company and I want the high end client. I rarely get them. I think construction was something I fell back on when I was in a bad spot. I thought it was temporary until I found out I had a knack for it. I've had so many disappointments in the past couple years that we've decided that maybe I should try something different, with more upside.

It's not like I'm getting rid of my equipment. I can always fall back on it again if need be.

Why don't you try flipping houses?

That way you decide the designs and materials and your fee is pretty much guaranteed (assuming you buy well).
