And training. One of the smartest people I know spent $50K to get trained as a certified Ford mechanic, then another $50K on tools. He became a general contractor because working on houses used the exact same principles but everything is way easier because it's at a far larger scale.
And sorry about your dad. A lot of these guys sacrifice their knees as well.

There's way more lifting and carrying of heavy things when dealing with houses. Apartments without elevators are the worst, since you need to carry the heavy stuff up and down the stairs.
