    What to do with new ideas?

    IDEA 
    I am reading James Altucher's book 'Choose Yourself' and just finished MJ's book this weekend. In both books they talk about coming up with ideas that will serve a need or help people. James recommends coming up with 10 ideas a day on a variety of topics. Here is my problem. Practically...

    Rehab repair estimating

    REAL ESTATE 
    Hi, I think one of the biggest problems people run into when they get into real estate investing is underestimating the cost of repairs. Contractors also don't like to go to 50 houses with an investor and give 50 bids when only one of the jobs pans out. If there was a good way of estimating...

    Most Helpful Trade, Rentals?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Couldn't agree more with Cash Flow Depot. I try to look at how I spend my time in terms of $'s/hour. A good property manager with a lot of units can make an exponential return in this area if she is well-organized and have a lot of systems automated. But if you are a plumber/electrician/HVAC...

    Boy it sure sounds like it. Thanks for all the great advice. I think you are absolutely right about building systems. I think I am the stupid brother in the fable about the Pharoah asking his sons to build a pyramid in MJ's book. Time to look at systematizing instead of muscling through...

    Ok I'm trying to think creatively. I think I have a way to combine my blog and the lease option stuff into a profitable website. Trouble is that I don't know how to design websites. Should I just go to an elance, or odesk or something like that? I have a web company helping me with my blog...

    Haha Sean - hey - no blood, no foul. In a past life I was an Air Force Spec Ops pilot, so I developed a little bit of a thick skin. I don't mind it at all. There are way too many p*ssies out there complaining about everything and I can see why you would think that. I appreciate all the advice...

    Finding a good VA

    PEOPLE 
    Hi, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with some of my business ventures. There is a lot of simple stuff I think I can outsource but I am not making a ton of money yet to afford a huge support network. Just one VA to do some admin stuff would be absolutely great. Are people on this forum using...

    Amschel, I really appreciate the advice. I've been holding off a little in terms of going into social media with this because I thought it would look much better if I had a lot of posts and an impressive blog. I think I am only up to 40 posts or somewhere around that. I also wanted to get my...

    Thanks Chris - I checked out fizzle.co and it looks like a very affordable way to learn. What I need to figure out is how to get a following. All the social media stuff and SEO/keyword research is hard for me to grasp. It seems really overwhelming. Any resources there or is Fizzle the way...
