My boyfriend and I run this real estate business. Basically we flip houses – if you ever seen any home renovation/flip TV show, then you have a pretty good idea on what we do. My boyfriend is the numbers/planning guy, and I’m the designer/agent. We typically hire contractors and tradesmen to help with the construction aspect of the flips.
At first, we had no idea what we were doing. It all just seemed so easy on TV. But once you get into a project, and the cost keep on rising, and you’re maxing out your credit cards, yeah, that sucks. On one of the first projects, we were all in. Like we needed to finish the house and sell it fast just to dig ourselves out. And of course, an unexpected cost surprise came up.
Steve was our contractor on that job, and he’s asking for money that we didn’t have. My boyfriend casually suggested that maybe I flirt with him. My boyfriend and I have a very liberal/sexual relationship, so this didn’t really bother us. So when Steve was trying to explain the surprise, I was heavily flirting with him. Wore a low cut tank top, and was practically throwing myself at him. Steve eventually got the hint and offered to ‘help’. But only if I blew him right then and there.
