$1.5M+ homes is not a bad area

• acdha 4y ago
  It can easily be a bad area for freelancing: imagine if it’s an area where you have big developments and maybe some large commercial or agricultural sites but not a ton of smaller places. The bigger contracts tend to go to the big companies who can handle a ton of work so there might not be that many people looking for small jobs - someone who just bought a new $1.5M home probably isn’t going to be doing much electrical work for years.

    > someone who just bought a new $1.5M home probably isn’t going to be doing much electrical work for years unless its UK, then the house with that pricetag was last fixed in the 60's, needs total rewiring, and has energy efficiency of a damp tent.

    Often these houses will have immediate renovations to suit the new owners aesthetic --- oftentimes major. Lots of trades needed for such things. Fair point about scale of jobs however. Things need done and eventually a real world timeframe.
