    How I'm getting 2.22% debt currently

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    OK, enough with the financial analysis for me. I understand the deal terms, pro and cons. Some implementation questions... How are you identifying qualified prospects for the offer? How are you contacting qualified prospects for the offer? Are you closing the deals (not the RE closing) in...

    The Colorado check is $5.00. :moneybag::moneybag::moneybag: The other one from my school is something like $250.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I guess this is a side hustle. Kind of a one-time thing though and one of the strangest things I've seen this year to make money appear. Could easily be a scam. Every state has a department that processes unclaimed money for its residents. Tax refunds, abandoned safe deposit boxes, stuff like...

    Ideally. I've seen seller agents attempt to claim dual agency and keep both sides of the commission. All the rest makes sense. Been thinking over the specific deal you posted and morphing it into something more common. It's effectively a cash out refinance. One that conveniently avoids all the...

    Fastlane Success (8 figure exit!) - Now Back to the Starting Ground !!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Well, it turns out when you want to raise money, it helps to know people who actually have money to invest. First company I worked for IPOed after five years. Quite a few right there. Later in life, I spent several years helping tech startups raise money pitching to angels and VCs. Attend lots...

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    The simplest of all is putting a tenant in place to cover the $500 / month loan payment. * $15K down + 0% financing * $500+ cashflow makes for a pretty rocking COC return (assuming there's enough rental value there) You can also get fancy and start offering lease options with an upfront...

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I heard lots of these kinds of ideas last go around in 2007. At first blush, the math seems right, but it always does. Some legitimate questions along with a couple of details that maybe you could clarify for me. 1. Didn't the realtor(s) get paid on the original $165K deal? That's another 6%...

    Why are sales letters selling only 1-4%?

    MARKETING 
    I didn't mean that DM doesn't work and can't be highly effective. I'm literally dusting off a 15YO sales letter campaign to send out in Oct. exactly because the market and buyers haven't changed in the slightest. The response and conversion rates are almost certainly going to be the about the...

    I'm betting your direct mail response rate is 0.00%. Go ahead and figure out why no one has run a 2 minute mile yet.

    Yeah, there's my alma mater. Saw this story awhile back and thought: "What kind of F*cking morons don't have a backup generator / security / alarms / offsite storage / anything for their priceless research specimens collected over the past two decades?" Like the power hasn't gone out in...

    Those will work, but I'm sure there's dedicated web apps for doing those kinds of books. More than likely they'll be free or dirt cheap and can automatically generate every format needed for e-publishing and other goodies. Things like watermarking, 3rd party editing, sharing, etc. e.g. Best...

    That's a REALLY good idea. You can absolutely deliver the same service for far less by changing the offer.

    How To 101: Cold Calling and Emailing.

    MARKETING PEOPLE CHAT 
    Use an autodialer. Although certainly not my favorite marketing activity, I've done enough outbound cold calling to find it tolerable. I'm far less convinced that it's worthwhile vs. basic marketing and promotional activities. Marketing really should be doing the heavy lifting of prospecting...

    How I Got 25k+ Downloads in 4 Months for my Online Marketplace App

    SCALING SAAS / APPS FEEDBACK 
    Get it to 100K+ downloads and an endless stream of people can help you monetize it. :) Seriously, it doesn't sound like enough traction at this stage to worry too much about money and total downloads aren't really a good indicator for this kind of app. Engagement is much better e.g. how many...

    Married with a Child, now what?

    Have you thought about the problem just in financial terms? #1. You live back with them. That means making up whatever amount your job pays every month. #2. They live with you. That means making up $2,000 monthly for your wife's income and another $1,500 for day care. Do the same with the...

    I loved most all of Nolan's films and have been looking forward to Oppenheimer for a couple months now. Just really hoping the dialogue isn't all jacked up like with Tenet. You couldn't understand 1/3 of the script.

    I'm guessing your age, but am betting "heavy training" will have a very different meaning in 10+ years. My heavy strength training long ago turned into "Rule #1: Don't get injured in the gym doing something dumb because there's a good chance it might never heal." Actually, that's pretty much the...
