Im a land surveyor. Surveying equipment is very expensive. Software Licenses will most likely be more than $20,000 depending on what services you provide. Also, to do property surveys (the only task you described in the video) you do have to be licensed (4 year degree in civil engineering or surveying +pass state exam). Also, it does require quite a bit of knowledge and technical training.
@marandafinn8730 Unrealistic as hell. (I'm a land surveyor myself). It can be realistic if you have a huge surveying company but as a side hustle....no lol.
This guy is so clueless that he really thought land surveying is a pickup side hustle! I was laughing really hard on this one. He didn’t know you need to be licensed just like an engineer or a doctor would .
YOU are delusional. Saying that was not even the intent of the original comment. He was saying that this "hustle" is not even possible, and the person who made this video was only trying to get views. Of course you can learn without experience with research ! People can learn about world war II without picking up an M16. People can learn about cancer without having had tumors removed from their bodies. . I can't believe the stupidity of your comment😞
I own restaurants, in the Midwest, and we pay around $350 for someone to come out with a 100ft electric drain auger and clear the line. You don’t need a drain can unless you are having multiple visits in a short period of time to see what’s going on. Whether you charge a trip fee/diagnosis fee and a work fee or just a straight fee to do the job I think $350 is average for my area. This is also why I bought my own auger. I can’t imagine having a shower drain at home clogged and getting a $750 bill. I think a disclaimer of *know your market prices applies to all of these. I think a lot of your viewers are people looking for ideas for extra income, so a range of income should be expected based on your area. Also, don’t forget about taxes! And if you are self employed you’ll be hit extra on the payroll side. Still, it’s great to be your own boss.
I am a certified survey technician. You are correct, to produce a legally recognized survey, you must be registered with the state. Years of training is needed, even for the lower positions. Expensive equipment, licensing, knowledge.
FYI on Land surveying. If you do this make dam sure you know what your doing because if you mess up you can be sued for thousands to millions of dollars if your survey is wrong.
Ya, im an apprentice plumber and we charge just that but a lil lower 650 and really don't take long and that's with the sewage cam it's pretty sweeet plus then u get the person and his friends and so on word of mouth is what keeps us busy
In Texas, typically professional engineers operate land surveying companies. Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors handles licensing. But it is an on-demand career if you have the proper education and experience to get licensed.
You can go without electricity (candles) or cooking food (buy fast food) for a while. But plumbing. No way. You have one flush and that’s it. Once you see that toilet flushing as it should, the relief is through the roof. 😂 Just ask any woman why they don’t want to go camping.
If you are going to do the sewer cleaning, you better have a way to keep the thieves away from your equipment when you are directly monitoring your stuff or it WILL GET STOLEN.
Agree. At minimum, a lockable camper shell for your truck... equipment chained and pad locked TO THE BED. I understand the video is for pickup truck hustles, but plumbing/electrical-related trades prefer vans, security being one reason.
I know a few plumbers that charge that and people have no problem paying it because their kid flushed toys or paper and the toilet won’t flush and their sink backs up with dirty water
FYI to start a land surveying business you need to make sure you have a licensed Professional Land Surveyor on staff and who is responsible for all work. Most states require you to have a licensed professional land surveyor on staff, firms must designate an employee as the surveyor in responsible charge of all surveying activities. The surveyor in charge is generally required to have an active professional surveyor license in the state where the firm is located and/ or doing work. This is 100% the case for Washington, Oregon and Colorado. To be a PLS you need a minimum of an associates degree in land surveying and geomatics, but a BS is preferred. Also you will then need anywhere from 4~10 years supervised work experience before you can get licensed as a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS). It is illegal to offer services as a PLS if not licensed. Please research your suggestions thoroughly before telling people it’s ok to start doing them, thank you
I appreciate this comment and agree with you that this last business should have been researched more and the degree and training should have been highlighted more.
@@adamzwingler Don't get it twisted here my friend I'm not mad at your hustle & appreciate your interest & enthusiasm in the construction trades. It's all good, go get it. However some of the way you're doing it is another thing I feel not only are you doing yourself a disservice yet also the others you're trying to reach who are interested in getting into the trades more so. Take it for what it's worth or don't IRDGAS it's just a bit of constructive criticism for you to think about on where you want to go yourself to increase your own revenue on your channel while keeping it a buck & keeping your own self integrity, ya dig? 🤔 Just saying... +Peace & Rock n' Roll 4 Your Soul My Friend+ 🤘😜🤘
I am ASSUMEING this guy is a multi billionaire with all his great ideas. As an actual attorney of 30 years who owns a pretty large law firm and owner of several businesses that bring in actual millions of dollars a year I will say this guy's numbers don't add up. Yes you probably could make a little money doing the things he talks about but you will be struggling financially.
@adamzwingler How much of the information is accurate in your videos? Based on some of the comments or seems your info is a little off, and you seem to be selling your web site business...
lol I was just scrolling threw as I seen this, well as a plumber for 16 years I can tell you your wrong I have 3 different snake machines my bigger main line machine is 4k alone my medium is 2k my little one is 650 my camera rigid was 14k and clogs cost between 150-350 in California so it’s gonna cost much more then 5k and snaking does take skill seem a lot of guys just going up vents instead of drains
Absolutely I think you putting the spotlight on it is great I will go further to say a snake and camera can land a sewer replacement which can cost between 4k+ the most priciest one I’ve done was 25k but I shall say anything done in California over 500 dollars does require you to have a sub contractor license. But if you do 4 clogs a day at 250 a piece thats a grand a day times that by a month = happy happy happy
I worked in the drain business 30 years ago and we would charge $55.00(first 100ft) to run a mainline through an outside cleanout. And I still have some equipment! Maybe I should get back in the business...😆
LOL here in NC my buddies plumbing company who is licensed charges 150 for a clogged drain 24/7 😅....750 no way unless it's non residential and I gurantee you better be a licensed plumber to get in the door.
The plumbing estimate is a bit off. Just a camera and the locator cost about $12,000 from rigid. A good snake machine is about $5500. Plus you will need three different sizes so figure about 12 grand for all of them. just roughly about 30K for equipment plus the truck cost.
Land surveying requires a license in all 50 states. 2/3 of the states require a BS specifically in land surveying. The remaining 1/3 require 8-10 years of experience to apply to sit for the exams. Regardless of the path to licensure, an applicant must pass 16 hours of national and state exams. Startup equipment cost is well over $50k if you’re going to be competitive. It is a rewarding career and terribly short staffed but is NOT a side hustle.
Do you have any best recommendations on how to claw my way up to the top of google reviews and be at the top of the maps section for the drain Cleaning busines?
Work your ass off, be so personable and likable that when you aggressively and persistently ask for reviews from your customers, that every single one is honored to give you 5 stars. Market aggressively with door hangers, photos of your work with happy customers, create fun community events to raise funds and awareness of your business, give back to the community, act professional and wear shoe covers always taking special care to use mats, clean up well and show as much respect as possible to customers homes. Look clean m, trustworthy and credible. Showing up in dirty ass random clotheswith your rolls hanging out smelling like cigarettes with a backwards hat and a huge unkempt beard and tracking shit through the house with a dirty truck is expected. Have the exact opposite image in everyway from this and you'll go a long way. The more 5 star reviews, the more you climb the algorithm.
Cleaning sewer drains, a Ridgid k-400 will do 90% of what you need, can get for under a thousand, if your on a super tight budget even get a harbor frieght machine for the first couple months.
Side business #5......butcher the animals, package them, drive around with a deep freeze in the back of your truck and do door to door meat sales......or you can always sell wholesale to your local Chinese restaurants
Drain clogs no way 750.00 unless non residential and you wont get in unless licensed. Also most require bonding in the event you screw up. Just asked my buddy who has his plumbing company which charges 150.00 24/7 in NC and highly recommends for a non licensed plumber to not even start because you could cause damages that exceeds your truck value quick especially when you cause damage in a public utility line.
You can't charge over $500 for drain cleaning in CA. Any work over that $500 limit, and you have to be a licensed contractor. No, two invoices of one at $500 and another at $250 will not count. 4 years of experience or 3 years of schooling with one year of exp, and you have to have someone sign off your experience verifying that you are qualified. Lots of hoops to jump through.
Like other comments, you have to be licensed to land survey. Some of this requires schooling, specialized classes, and better make sure you are insured as at least in California there is not statute of limitations on a land surveyor.
Land surveying often requires a license. In the U.S., this typically involves passing the Fundamentals of Surveying (FS) and Professional Surveyor (PS) exams after earning relevant educational qualifications.
Thank you because the information you give helps get us started…I’m sure some people may have to customize to their state or region…. But I’m grateful for the ideas and you doing some research to help others.
To do surveys or residential home inspections may be cool paths to look into. I’m in commercial pest management and work over nights so doing inspections I’d be curious about that.
The drain cleaning needs more money to start. Those cheap camera's aren't worth a damn. You'll also need a locator as you'll run into roots and collapsed sewer lines. The real money is in sewer replacements and underground repairs. $7500 is the low end.
On the dead animal removal you could double your income if when you pick them up you dispose of them in the neighbors yard. He mentioned removing Elk. I’m in Rhode Island anyone know if we get a lot of those down here and could they fit in the backseat of my Corolla?
Yeah starting a survey company is not the way to go because you own a pick up truck. It’s a very complex job and if you weren’t very good with math you’re not going to be successful. Also, who pays 750.00 for drain clogs? I’m going to start a UA-cam channel tell me how to do that and make millions on stuff I know nothing about.
That would be crime scene cleanup! I'm sure a morgue or police dept would handle human bodies. Not unless you work for a mobster or someone who wants to make bodies disappear.
It costs me $50 to have a large dead goat picked up. When I worked for a county government we had subcontractor to pick up road kill. I don’t know what they were paid
It's also incredibly toxic to you, everything else, animals and the rest of the environment, INCLUDING any and ALL piping. Let me tell you about the $18,000 drain repipe we did on the home here in Washington because they used draino enough times to eat through all of their old galvanized and cast iron piping.
Correct in stating Land Surveying is in high demand. But you need to be licensed to be a Land Surveyor. Im on my way to be one. Simply put, new generation of kids coming out of grade school dont want to work outside. Land Surveying business is not a side hustle, hate to be the bear of bad news, but its not. I have not done research on all 50 states, but i bet all 50 states you have to have education. Here in PA, you can do school route or you have to have over a decade working under a PLS and apprenticeship til you become one. But then it is in high demand, its not a side hustle. Most small surveying firms are ran out of their own house, so subtract rent. In addition, you are producing a legal document in mapping land, that requires licensure. So again, attaining a licensure doesnt sound like a side hustle to me. I'm gona sound like a jerk here for a second, but I really so think you should take land surveying out of this video, its not a side hustle, period.
Who is paying $450 to unclog a drain. I had a clogged drain and plumber charged $80. No way I would pay $450 when I can go to Home Depot and rent the rigid myself for less than $100
This price is for a licensed, bonded, insurance and well reviewed, established service company with overhead. But specifically on main drain lines. Good luck there brother. I've seen plumbers with 8 years experience break fittings costing what would have been $3600 in repairs by not operating larger drain machines with finesse.
lol bro you can’t just say I’m a surveyor. Unless you wanna spend 5 years under a licensed professional surveyor to get certified and then buy your own $30k Trimble…. Also in order to contract with city on public roads you need to go through A LOT OF HOOPS plus deal with prevailing wage, certified payroll and apprentice requirements.. at least in California. Maybe Christmas tree lights or medical delivery would make more sense for this “side hustle” video haha
The drain cleaning job you will not have business everyday. I don't know where he's getting his figures from. Would be nice if someone would do some type of research before creating a video like this.
In Georgia (and other States likely) in order for you to have 'Land Surveying' or 'Engineering' in the Title of your Business and, indeed as others have pointed out, to offer said services to the Public, you must have a Registered Professional Land Surveyor or Registered Professional Engineer as a Principal in the company, i.e. active owner or co-owner.
There is no one charging 450 bucks to unclog a drain. Ever heard of mike diamond? Most plumbers and handymen around me only charge 100 bucks or less depending on the day and the urgency. Same day on a sunday night may cost a bit. But next day on a monday or tuesdsy is gonna be 90 bucks
$1000 in truck insurance? Thats astronomical. Remember you dint have a contract license there fore you are not paying commercial insurance. More like $60-$300 on regular vehicle insurance depending on type and year of truck.
Land surveying is not a pickup side hustle !! I was laughing really hard on this one. You need to be licensed just like an engineer or a doctor would. It requires a 4 year degree as well. Lol😂
Where are you from? I am in California, are they backed up here for land surveying? ‼️‼️‼️ please respond. Otherwise, I’ll be doing the research I guess.
Most residential plumbing issues are in no way complex and do not require years of specific education. On top of that, it shouldn’t cost $200+ per hour to have a plumbing issue handled. That’s why I offer plumbing services at a more economical cost to clients than what a plumber would demand. I don’t take on jobs I know I can’t handle, and if I show up for a bid appointment and determine the job is better suited for someone with more experience…I defer and refer.
@apersonontheinternet8006 I pay for all those soft costs and several more, and it's still a scam to charge inflated priced. You make it sound as though that one job pays for all overhead expenses. The math is really not that difficult to sus out and quickly realize it's overly inflated. Consumers need to always shop around.
Plumber of 12 years here. I really, really, with no sarcasm, appreciate guys like you who A.) Provide customers for us to come back to a house where we now have to charge a premium to repair work that you installed incorrectly and held up for a short time, and/or failed an inspection that came during a sale or refinance. B.) Give us leads on jobs that require the time, cost of equipment, experience, continued education and licenses that we have, that cost 3 years, 6,000 hours of working your ass off as an apprentice for shit pay, and hundreds of hours of studying for a $185 exam for a specific residential license. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Sincerely, Licensed Residential Plumber
The real side hustle is sitting on your behind and talking smart about things you haven’t done yourself 😂😂😂😂😂
Ur dumb bro
AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH.
I would NEVER Remove dead animals from anywhere ! I only remove dead roaches from my garage !!! 😅😂🙄😊😊😆
Shhhh....dont poont the obvious just got with the flow.

Dude, if you’re making 100,000 a year in surveying, you’re doing well.
Using your logic; the best side hustle using a truck is to become a neurosurgeon and drive your truck to and from hospital where you work

You forgot about the dead animals body disposal charge. Once you have the body you have to pay to get rid of it in a safe and legal way.

On the dead animal removal you could double your income if when you pick them up you dispose of them in the neighbors yard. He mentioned removing Elk. I’m in Rhode Island anyone know if we get a lot of those down here and could they fit in the backseat of my Corolla?
The 4ra IPL lottery is crazy fun. tried my luck today, and it was so exciting!
Yeah starting a survey company is not the way to go because you own a pick up truck.
It’s a very complex job and if you weren’t very good with math you’re not going to be successful.
Also, who pays 750.00 for drain clogs?
I’m going to start a UA-cam channel tell me how to do that and make millions on stuff I know nothing about.
When Finch talks, bettors listen. His promos on 4RA make so much sense!
You can get $250-$300 for emergency drain cleaning on the weekend or holiday where I’m at. $750 I would be running 4-5 trucks doing this lol.
Mr Haney had these ideas already
Does dead animal removal include human remains?
That would be crime scene cleanup! I'm sure a morgue or police dept would handle human bodies. Not unless you work for a mobster or someone who wants to make bodies disappear.
Thank you very much from Sierra Leone
Doesn't the state usually handle dead animals on the roads. Maybe farm animals
It costs me $50 to have a large dead goat picked up. When I worked for a county government we had subcontractor to pick up road kill. I don’t know what they were paid
Love the way your connecting these simple business concepts.
how do I find out if drain cleaning needs license in alabama
Google
You don't in Alabama.
Thanks for the awesome ideas with good preliminary plans. Earned my follow. What businesses are you pursuing?
I'm just going to hope that his other videos make more sense than this one does... 🙄🤦♂️🤦♂️
No one will pay 750 dollars to clean out a drain most plummers run a drain special for 99 dollars all day long!!!
He also is stating that you will get 480 clients in your first year… bold and possible but more on the unlikely side
Incorrect. I've been to several thousand customer's homes where thays the case.
What about disposal?
there are 4.33 weeks in a month. 52 weeks in a year divided by 12 = 4.33. just saying slightly higher
Liquid plummer bottle is like $9 👍 I just save you $741, you are welcome 😂
That unfortunately doesn't work on all of them.
It's also incredibly toxic to you, everything else, animals and the rest of the environment, INCLUDING any and ALL piping. Let me tell you about the $18,000 drain repipe we did on the home here in Washington because they used draino enough times to eat through all of their old galvanized and cast iron piping.
Where does he get any of the numbers in the video? Sources?
His ass. He pulls the numbers right out of his ass.
Not going to drain clean in fla. You need a license. Fact. I live here.
I know, right, friend? His gameplay analysis is why I trust 4RBT now. Finch knows his cricket!
Correct in stating Land Surveying is in high demand. But you need to be licensed to be a Land Surveyor. Im on my way to be one. Simply put, new generation of kids coming out of grade school dont want to work outside. Land Surveying business is not a side hustle, hate to be the bear of bad news, but its not. I have not done research on all 50 states, but i bet all 50 states you have to have education. Here in PA, you can do school route or you have to have over a decade working under a PLS and apprenticeship til you become one. But then it is in high demand, its not a side hustle. Most small surveying firms are ran out of their own house, so subtract rent. In addition, you are producing a legal document in mapping land, that requires licensure. So again, attaining a licensure doesnt sound like a side hustle to me. I'm gona sound like a jerk here for a second, but I really so think you should take land surveying out of this video, its not a side hustle, period.
They offer drain clearing in my area for 79$ with a cam wtf
I now have an excuse to buy that Ford F-150 I’ve always wanted
Brooo, 4ra’s latest features have made betting so much cooler. tonight’s match is going to be lit!
What do you do with the carcasses of these dead animals?
Can you have regular insurance?
Knowledge able people will make sure your licensed bonded and insured
So how do you get clients??
Will the K 50 unclog your nose?
Who is paying $450 to unclog a drain. I had a clogged drain and plumber charged $80. No way I would pay $450 when I can go to Home Depot and rent the rigid myself for less than $100
This price is for a licensed, bonded, insurance and well reviewed, established service company with overhead. But specifically on main drain lines. Good luck there brother. I've seen plumbers with 8 years experience break fittings costing what would have been $3600 in repairs by not operating larger drain machines with finesse.
Thanks for all you do
lol bro you can’t just say I’m a surveyor. Unless you wanna spend 5 years under a licensed professional surveyor to get certified and then buy your own $30k Trimble…. Also in order to contract with city on public roads you need to go through A LOT OF HOOPS plus deal with prevailing wage, certified payroll and apprentice requirements.. at least in California.
Maybe Christmas tree lights or medical delivery would make more sense for this “side hustle” video haha
So how much to dispose of dead animals?
Yes bro, 4RA bets are the easiest and most fun . The interface is smooth and placing bets is a breeze. I'm ready for some action! Who's with me?
Who pays for this or who do I charge?
Every new 4ra promo makes me want to bet more. they’re doing an amazing job.
The drain cleaning job you will not have business everyday. I don't know where he's getting his figures from. Would be nice if someone would do some type of research before creating a video like this.
!st its septic tank driver , then sewer blockage man , then dead animal removal. whats next testicul shaver?
In Georgia (and other States likely) in order for you to have 'Land Surveying' or 'Engineering' in the Title of your Business and, indeed as others have pointed out, to offer said services to the Public, you must have a Registered Professional Land Surveyor or Registered Professional Engineer as a Principal in the company, i.e. active owner or co-owner.
There is no one charging 450 bucks to unclog a drain.
Ever heard of mike diamond? Most plumbers and handymen around me only charge 100 bucks or less depending on the day and the urgency.
Same day on a sunday night may cost a bit. But next day on a monday or tuesdsy is gonna be 90 bucks
There are plenty of reputable plumbing companies across the nation charging this $500 and more.
Who would I talk to, to get paid for picking up a dead animal on the highway or road?
Can I get an answer to this? This the second time I run into this video and would like for you to help me with this.
I'd do the Dead Animal Removal business however it looks like all the companies around me also offer getting rid of live animals like bats.
You need a Bachelors degree in surveying smarty pants!
$1000 in truck insurance? Thats astronomical. Remember you dint have a contract license there fore you are not paying commercial insurance. More like $60-$300 on regular vehicle insurance depending on type and year of truck.
Where do you take clases for land survey?
most states require a college degree to professionally land survey
Land surveying is not a pickup side hustle !! I was laughing really hard on this one. You need to be licensed just like an engineer or a doctor would. It requires a 4 year degree as well. Lol😂
Agreed man. I should have done more research into that before assuming this could be done as a side hustle. My bad
Where are you from? I am in California, are they backed up here for land surveying? ‼️‼️‼️ please respond. Otherwise, I’ll be doing the research I guess.
Most residential plumbing issues are in no way complex and do not require years of specific education. On top of that, it shouldn’t cost $200+ per hour to have a plumbing issue handled. That’s why I offer plumbing services at a more economical cost to clients than what a plumber would demand. I don’t take on jobs I know I can’t handle, and if I show up for a bid appointment and determine the job is better suited for someone with more experience…I defer and refer.
Lmao. If you paid for licensing, insurances, taxes, etc you would know why it costs as much as it does
@apersonontheinternet8006 I pay for all those soft costs and several more, and it's still a scam to charge inflated priced. You make it sound as though that one job pays for all overhead expenses. The math is really not that difficult to sus out and quickly realize it's overly inflated. Consumers need to always shop around.
Plumber of 12 years here. I really, really, with no sarcasm, appreciate guys like you who A.) Provide customers for us to come back to a house where we now have to charge a premium to repair work that you installed incorrectly and held up for a short time, and/or failed an inspection that came during a sale or refinance. B.) Give us leads on jobs that require the time, cost of equipment, experience, continued education and licenses that we have, that cost 3 years, 6,000 hours of working your ass off as an apprentice for shit pay, and hundreds of hours of studying for a $185 exam for a specific residential license.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Sincerely,
Licensed Residential Plumber
And then u must compete with Roto Rooter and Captain Clog companies
Heard any good tips My brother gave me a few pointers, but I’m still figuring out the best strategies
