    REAL ESTATE 
    Jscott, thanks for your reply. What you're saying is an awesome idea, but its not possible for me to move out of where I'm currently living - which prevents me from being eligible for the 10% discount. I'm more interested in finding a multi-family apartment and renting out all the units. My...

    Running a Political Campaign

    OFF-TOPIC 
    One of my major goals other than to be financially free through entrepreneurship and investing is to be involved in government and public service later in my life. I'm hoping that by becoming wealthy through real estate I can allow myself to be free of a job so I am able to be actively involved...

    REAL ESTATE 
    rcardin, thank you for the advice. I realize what you're saying about keeping reserve funds but I know I could borrow money from some close people of mine if I ran into a tight spot while I get going with REI. I'll look into this more though. Calijess, I'll definitely consider owner occupied...

    Getting Started

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've been experimenting with start-up businesses for a while and haven't been very successful, but now that I'm 18 I'm looking into real estate. I haven't purchased any properties yet, but I have been reading many books and I also joined my local real estate investment club. I've only been to...

    Find that you have a lot of ideas?

    IDEA 
    I have one notebook I keep in my room. My family thinks I'm nuts because whenever I'm writing in it I basically just block out the world and get every aspect of the idea down on paper. Not that it would have a huge effect, but I learned in English class that your ideas can be generated more...

    Screen Printing?

    This thread got my brain juices flowing. It seems that a clothing line is actually quite lucrative and also can be boot-strapped. My simple question is if someone were to purchase wholesale products and sell them retail, but wanted to print their logo/message on them, how would they go about...

    SUCCESS STORY: Ecko

    EXECUTION 
    A clothing line is an awesome fastlane venture, but I think the biggest hurdle is the in-house production. I personally wear clothes from American Apparel (the shirts are very comfortable) but you can purchase the shirts wholesale because they already come unbranded without any print which makes...

    Who wants to meet dkt in Round Rock, TX?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Out of curiosity, are you from Texas? I've been to UT Austin, it's an awesome campus, but I heard it's ridiculously hard for any out of stater to get in.

    A letter from a boss to employees about the economy (awesome)

    HOT! 
    I was thinking the same thing. It reminded me of an interview I was watching yesterday. A famous rapper (T.I. to be exact) was getting interviewed and he was saying how he loved music but he could deal without the fame. That got me thinking, if you don't like fame, why are you making albums...

    "Action may not always bring happiness..."

    MINDSET 
    "But there is no happiness without action." Lately I've been living out this quote. A post made in the beginning on January got me thinking pretty hard. I find myself to be a pretty confident person, but even confidence itself cannot prepare someone to take action when they see opportunity. I...

    Millionaire Dropouts

    MINDSET 
    Just to clarify, I wasn't talking about going to college to get better odds. I was talking about choosing a particular college over another or moving to a different state just because more millionaires have come from there.

    Millionaire Dropouts

    MINDSET 
    I think it's all relative and at the end of the day I'm not sure if I would change something about myself just so I have better odds. For example, the state with most Forbes 400 participants is California, but I don't plan on moving there. Richard Branson is my favorite entrepreneur but he...

    The power of partnerships

    I am reading a book called "Founders at Work." It's a pretty interesting book that is basically just interview transcripts of successful tech start-up founders. I was reading the one with Max Levchin who is the co-founder of PayPal. He said that the best advice he could give to a future founder...

    Advertising advice

    I'm not an expert at marketing, but what helped me get a feeling for it was "Guerilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson. I highly recommend it and they have different books depending on your industry and financial situation.

    Extreme startup strategy

    Interesting thoughts. It reminds me of a quote I once heard: "If you can't make money without money, you can't make money with money." Has anyone ever expanded on this idea of purchasing an existing company using other people's money? What type of credit history would one need? And wouldn't it...

    Rap Group

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I know it sounds cliche, but what your rap group should focus on is making an extremely addictive hook. For example, Soulja Boy with "Crank Dat." Most recently I found out about this indie rock band called Peter Bjorn and Jon. They are not very well known and I checked out their other music and...
