    MARKETING

    Major stress and dealing with it

    MINDSET 
    I hit the gym. Working out relieves any stress atleast for me. Pumping iron and engorging your pecs and biceps with blood to the point of explosion works wonders :icon_super: Running too. I run 30 mins on the treadmill 3 times a week and lift weights 3 times a week. I do this in the morning so I...

    Has Social Networking reached its peak?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Mainstream social networks that appeal to a broad base of people have probably peaked atleast in the US . I don't know if this is the case in China or India. I see a move towards niche social networks that attract people with similar interests e.g. covestor - a social network for stock market...

    Direct/Internet Marketers - good or bad

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I personally don't have experience with these internet marketing/ ebiz guru's but if they are anything like the real estate gurus, then their seminars , products etc are just a waste of time and money. They are all sales people who are using you as their leverage to make their millions. If they...

    Making Apartments Cash Flow

    REAL ESTATE 
    White, I believe the investor who bought this building has a plan to add value sort of like SteveO does with his apartment deals. He probably figures that rents are below market and they can be increased by say $50 per month per unit. 18 X $50 X 12 months is an extra $10,800 a year. Based on a...

    Randallg99 tell me about China

    OFF-TOPIC 
    ATW, By this I believe Randall was talking about how dependent China is on exporting goods to the US. Here is a link to trade statistics for US and China. In 2007 the US imported $321 billion worth of goods from China while exporting $ 65 billion to China. China's total exports were $1216...

    Building a company + banks

    White, I don't know how it would work in the case of an asset sale. You could contact the lenders and ask them if they can transfer the LOCs. If not you may try working an arrangement with the seller whereby he taps the existing LOCs and gives you the money while holding a note. You in...

    Building a company + banks

    Phlgirl, Other than owner financing , I can think of one way you could get 100% financing and even more. Buy a business that has lines of credit in its own name. You could buy the business with 85% financing from the SBA and get the other 15% via the businesses own lines of credit. Ofcourse...

    Building a company + banks

    White, are you getting an SBA loan ? From the way you describe it , it sounds like an SBA loan. The maximum LTV is 85% but they inject working capital up to $100,000 or 2 months of expenses. Loans are capped at $2 million atleast for this program that I was going over. Rates are at Prime +...

    Negotiating vs. Low-Balling

    HOT! 
    SteveO Speed ++ There is nothing wrong with low-balling. Its part of the negotiation process. In any business transaction you need to know the absolute maximum price you are willing to pay. You can't reveal this price right away to the seller because it leaves no room to negotiate. More so...
