Whoever said that people don’t make money when they’re simply having fun have yet to know how much Comedian Will Ferrell earns from his website. You won’t earn that much with you’re just starting with rehabbing houses, but hey, no need to be greedy.

In property rehabbing, you would probably need a few years of a high-performing business that regularly closes homerun deals to earn $10 million. Ferrell, however, did it with one sale.

Ferrell and collaborator Adam McKay sold 10% of their Funny or Die site to HBO for $10 million. The site is reportedly earning “tens of millions in revenue.” Now I’m not telling you to trade house rehabbing to build your own comedy website. Definitely not, no sir. This is a good place to stay.

The lesson here is to simply be intuitive. In Ferrell’s case, he simply transferred his innate ability to make people laugh online. If you’re into property rehabbing, you just need to be perceptive to the needs of home buyers and adjust your strategies using your strengths. If you’re good with talking to people, use that to your advantage. If you’re not good with computing, outsource the task to someone else and spend your time in activities where you excel in.

Bottom line is you can never run out of things to do to improve your real estate investing business, be it property rehabbing, wholesaling houses, short sales, etc. Find your strong points and use them to boost your venture. As for Ferrell, he’s one funny and intelligent man.
