And I basically, instead of paying off some debt, I threw it to an account to start REI SIFT.

Um, I coded originally, uh, but I know how to break things.

I don't know how to build things very well.

Um, so, uh, I, I ended up into it originally, like using some people off of Upwork and that didn't go very well.

Um, and now I have a team, half of us are in Brazil and half of us are here in the U S in my office.

How'd you find the folks in Brazil?

Um, so Upwork and just slowly, you know, talking to the right people, essentially word of mouth.

got to me to the right backend developer.

And after I got that backend developer, he happened to work at a specific company that happened to know other people.

And we slowly kind of built our team.

This year, we'll have 10 full-time, five of which are USW2s and the rest are contractors.

So salaries, we spent about 40,000 on the dev team, product and dev team, and then another 12,000 on, no, closer to 16,000 in W2.

Our total company expenses monthly is about 60,000.

So we actually, year to date this year, revenue-wise, we're at about 2.3.

So we actually have a good credit system and a bunch of other ways internally that we build revenue.

So MRR-wise, 140, but there's about another 60 to 80,000 or so.

It was like 220,000 last month we did total.

Um, like credit system we have in there for skip tracing.

So like, um, people upload like a thousand dollars and then they'll use that thousand dollars to get phone numbers of homeowners or send direct mail to homeowners.

So we have a whole, like a marketplace internal to the product.
