Counting On star Austin Forsyth is known for doing contracting work. Because he’s a contractor and works for himself, Joy-Anna Duggar and the kids sometimes tag along. Now, it looks like Austin is testing the waters in a real estate career. Apparently, real estate is widely known as the main source of income for the Duggars. Jim Bob Duggar’s income mostly came from the real estate industry. However, it appears that Austin doesn’t have the skills to match Jim Bob’s real estate career status. It was previously revealed in October 2019 that Austin was sued for fraud. Now, Austin is about the face trials for his fraud case in just a few months.
