    Hi from a genuine business geek!!!!

    Hey Andy, nice to have you. We hope you have something to teach us, and that we have something to teach you as well. While your intro seemed a little generic, and you may be sig-whoring...there is a chance that isn't the case! And if it isn't the case, then welcome to the Fastlane my friend...

    U.S. apartment vacancies near historic high

    REAL ESTATE 
    There will without a doubt be a shift back to apartments; a major one. Given the economy recovers, the baby boomers children, the echo-boomers/millenial generation, will be at a peak through 2018. This will bring vast amounts of new renters to the market. With all the overbuilding though, I...

    IDEA 
    Go to the SBA link I posted in my above post. Do the bussiness primer. It will teach you the baics of protecting your business name and concept before marketing. The primer will help you establish your business effectively. Or, at least it can give you some tools and concepts to ponder. If you...

    How To: No Money & a great Idea

    IDEA 
    Did you just do the free online class offered by the SBA/SBDC? It seems like all the same information is present there. But this info is only part ONE of hundreds of resources they offer. Anyone interested, it is well worth your time. Head over to: Small Business Administration - Free Online...

    U.S. apartment vacancies near historic high

    REAL ESTATE 
    Saw this news in the elevator at work today. Vacancies rose to 7.54%!! I am curious to see what vacancies look like in college campus areas. I am guessing they were not hit as hard, as demand is always insanely high (especially around my school). Now really is the best time to get into...

    The "Thank you" thread

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I am on the train on the way to work right now, and I am feeling very thankful for everything I have. My life, my job (until the fastlane takes over), my family, friends, intelligence, entreprenurial ability, and the list goes on and on (not in any particular order really). I was reading one...

    Posting this from my FREE iPhone 3G S!

    Thanks WildAmbitions. I have a lot of executable business ideas, some of them I have pursued and made money, and most of them sit off to the side because I know I can't lose track of my real goals. I could definitely think of a system to target marketing and sell dozens of new iPhones (or the...

    Posting this from my FREE iPhone 3G S!

    In business you must stay creative to get ahead. I love thinking of new ways to do things and implementing them. When I got an email on Tuesday stating that the new iPhone 3G S was coming out this past Friday, a little light bulb went on in my head. The previous 3g phones still hold their value...

    Hello from Denver

    Hey IBM! It's always great to get another REI guy on the forums. You'll fit in just fine around here. I'm looking forward to hearing your stories and offering my advice where I can. Hopefully you can teach us and we can teach you in return. Remember to take pictures of all the fix/flips you...

    Is everyone on here in college or high school?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I would normally rant, but it's late and I won't waste my breath on what I would consider an ignorant post like the first one in this thread. I'll keep it short and sweet, forget the details. I am 19. I have had three successful small companies already. I work my a$$ off. Have a 3.8GPA at a Big...

    A penny saved is a penny earned?

    Good thread EasyMoney. It is common sense for me to be naturally frugal because I am saving up for my first pooled property investment (or solo if the opportunity presents itself); but it is nice to see some of the ideas in this thread. Too many times I find myself caught up in my work...

    Is being a realtor slowlane?

    SLOWLANE REAL ESTATE 
    I'm not assuming that you are living outside of your means, it is just common sense that there is a high cost of living in Manhattan. And you supplied me with the information that you are 60k in debt. You asked for advice, I told you what I would do. I never said you shouldn't make more money...

    Is being a realtor slowlane?

    SLOWLANE REAL ESTATE 
    If you want to get into the Fastlane... 1. Move out of Manhattan. 2. Live off less money. 3. Get out of debt. 4. Invest. You may have to give up your fancy lifestyle for a few years, but who said getting into the Fastlane is a smooth and comfortable transition? ENTREPRENEURS LIVE THE WAY...
