Not a huge jump from carpenter, to builder, to real estate investor.
I know a couple of guys who went that route - lots of work, good business acumen, maybe a couple of breaks. This is America, after all.
My Uncle Floyd started out as a carpenter and worked his way up to being a joint owner of the construction firm that grew over 50 years. And he was the ‘hired carpenter’ during most of the years after his children, my cousins, were born and growing up. Thus I believe in the opening line as I’ve seen it in my own extended family.
