In this informal YouTube short, two speakers discuss the origin and evolution of an off‑market septic‑tank business deal. Speaker A prompts Speaker B to recount how the relationship that led to the deal formed and grew into a profitable venture. A key highlight is that an investor on the deal earned a 45% return on investment, which is presented as an unusually high outcome. The conversation also references a related triple‑net leased commercial medical office space, linking the septic‑tank business to broader real‑estate assets. The speakers frame the septic‑tank market as a “guaranteed business” by joking that, alongside death and taxes, poop is an inevitable need, underscoring the steady demand for septic services. A brief disclaimer notes that the remarks are not financial advice.

Tommy, do you want to tell the septic tank story?
Are you referring to like how I came about selling them or what? I'm trying to understand what story.
So that it's an off-market deal and how that whole deal happened, like how the relationship happened and how it evolved and now how it's turned into this whole other thing. And I just have to laugh because yesterday I was sharing with another one of my investors, which, by the way, paid them back 45% ROI. I'm pretty excited. That is not typical. Just so we're clear, just a little disclaimer is going across the bottom. Don't hold me to any of this. Just happened to be on this deal. It was awesome. It was a triple net lease commercial medical office space. I'll talk about that. But we were talking about, have you ever all heard that, you know, there's a few things that are guaranteed in life? Death, taxes. There's a third one. Are you ready? Poop. Everybody needs to poop, which is how these septic tanks came to be. So yeah, so go ahead, Tommy. This is why I love this business.
I was building custom homes and the difficulty I experienced in trying to find somebody to do septic tanks cost me about $10,000 just to find somebody.
