    What business courses have you taken?

    I'm currently taking economics which is a half year course and last year I took a full year course called "Business Ownership and Entrepreneurship." It was definitely more along the lines of starting a mom and pop type small business store. I didn't really enjoy it and I found it was mostly...

    Does every investor want to be a commercial RE investor?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm reading multiple real estate books right now and I've developed different feelings. One book I'm reading is about sticking to the basics and accumulating single family and small multi-family homes. The author encourages the reader to invest in what they are good at and accumulate their long...

    Investment Real Estate "For dummies"

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yes you're completely right. I was just pointing out Gary Keller's theory but if you could find a motivated seller and buy 20% below market while being in an area that has population growth you'd make a killing.

    Investment Real Estate "For dummies"

    REAL ESTATE 
    Fantastic posts. Thanks for the insight. There seems to be alot of talk about catching the upswing of the real estate cycle, but coming from an REI newbie who has studied this subject for the past few months I've read that there are opportunities in all markets. The biggest thing I took from...

    Critique my site layout and business plan

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I’ve been juggling the idea of starting a conventional type business like an e-commerce store or drop shipping biz but I’ve had this unique idea for a while and I’d like to know what you think. Basically this is a niche site about auto racing that allows fans the opportunity to read...

    How to start and make a development & investment firm fastlane?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Re: How to start and make a development & investment firm fastlan Welcome to the forums. I can't really help you with the real estate side of things. But as far as creating this idea into a business versus a self employed job, you should check out a book called "The E Myth." Good luck!

    Robert Kiyosaki's book "Increase Your Financial IQ"

    Yeah I agree. I've heard alot of bad things about Robert and even my own friend met him in person and said he was an a$$. But the one thing he's got is that the books are so basic and simple yet can inform the reader with loads of information. I'll probably buy the book once I'm done reading all...

    Could someone help me

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've been thinking about starting an e-commerce store as well. My biggest issue is that I can't store inventory in the dorm that I'll be moving into soon. Has anyone taken similar advice given in this thread and put a dropshipping spin on things? I've heard Volusion is good for web design and...

    My plan for life (as of now)

    Alex's post got me thinking. I didn't have any dates lined up with my plan I basically just explained my ideas. I just typed this up quick and I'd like to get more precise but I think it's a start: September 2008 to January 2009: Continue to work on current venture while starting...

    A possible second venture - would this be worth it?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm working on one venture currently that has huge growth potential, but in my spare time I've had some thoughts about starting an e-business. I'm thinking about having a web site built that reviews different venues (race tracks to be exact) and allows past users the opportunity to post their...

    Buying a Duplex Next Spring? Is it possible?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I have a small part time job. But as I said I'm going to college, so I wouldn't even be able to pull off a full-time job. I might not even get a part-time job this January if it interferes with my grades. Sorry for the complete noob questions, but I only have a general understanding of owner...

    Buying a Duplex Next Spring? Is it possible?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Thanks for the advice everyone. I was thinking about quoting everyone and responding but I think it might just be easier to number out my questions. 1.) I'll definitely look into a quad versus a duplex. My biggest concern is the downpayment. As I said I have a little more than $4k so if the...

    Buying a Duplex Next Spring? Is it possible?

    REAL ESTATE 
    OK so let me just paint a quick picture of where I'm at. I'm 17 and I'm getting ready to go to college this January. I've been working on one business venture but in my spare time I'm obsessed with reading about real estate. I'll be living in a dorm from January to May but I'd like to buy a...

    America's Best Young Entrepreneurs 2008

    EXECUTION 
    I really liked the story about the 22 year old mortgage guy. He's basically running his own bank right now. And he can't be that effected from the mortgage crisis since he's dealing with the super rich of California.

    Graduating College, the Job, and Fastlane Aspirations

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well I'm not sure about other states, but in New York you have to have a Teaching Degree (Child Psychology) along with whatever subject you plan to teach. I think it might be difficult to get a business job with a history degree. Right now I'm in a similar situation as you. I actually leave for...

    Job board biz (website development)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Maybe you can find a niche in the market? If not, try to find any problems that an average person would encounter using Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. I was hanging out in my guidance counselors office yesterday and we looked on a job search site for me and we thought it would be so much easier to...

    Book Review: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor

    HOT! 
    Yeah I completely agree with you. I just feel like some of the content about how you should take care of your inner circle was kind of unneeded. Like how many times a month you should call and what types of gifts you should send. Although I don't have an inner circle myself since I'm just...

    Book Review: The Millionaire Real Estate Investor

    HOT! 
    I just finished this book. I definitely thought it was a good read. I feel like he goes into alot of detail about building your contact ring opposed to analyzing deals. It's a long read and I feel like some of it was basic common sense. I've definitely read better REI books, but this ranks...
