    MARKETING 
    I personally don't mess with homes that are that cheap. It all depends where you are located at. I invest in St. Louis and Indianapolis. Just because I can pick up a house for 7k in Ferguson doesn't mean that I should. At the same time I know people who have entire portfolios of sub 30k houses...

    Great question. It all comes down to how good you are. Really.... I watched a guy drop over 65k on marketing and he only made like 98k back. That is HORRIBLE. I would not waste my time. Typically my ROI is double to triple my amount invested. However that value can vary. It depends if I keep the...

    MARKETING 
    A coworker actually convinced a buddy and I to "partner" with him. At the time I was working in a call center. This 3rd guy tried going around my back because I was 19 and he didn't think I was serious. I had already committed to purchasing direct mail and wasn't going to go back on my word. So...

    I find it hilarious that someone can read through this thread (or pretend that they have) and ask questions like that.

    Purchased your book. Thanks for answering my PM. My big question was in regards to the customs broker/import regulations. But from my research if I'm using DHL orFedex they handle all of that. Am I correct in that understating?

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Thank you for the heads up! I actually think I found 2 products that have large margins. The only sellers are from China and have large amounts of steady sales. Value add with shipping, returns, and local should smoke them out of the water. There was a "how to find" products guide that someone...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    I actually read through all of the pages so I know this hasn't been asked.... I understand the request for a sample to "test" quality from a supplier. However you guys then talk about going back and ordering 50-100 from them. Do they not expect you to adhere to their MOQ after the "sample"...

    Man, That's a great feeling! It's funny when they can't figure out why you are happy.

    Remember ViralNova? (Sold $100M)

    I'm pretty sure that site was one of the ones that started the whole click bait garbage. You feel more and more cheated after every single article. The content itself is pretty poor. They used to have some cool news/articles. Personally I'd rather participate on here or another site and actually...

    Making An Impression on ideal investor / partner ?

    IDEA PEOPLE 
    What is the investor/partner expecting from meeting you? Are they looking for new products and expecting a pitch? While I think it's great to have an elevator pitch down you also don't want to blow your chance with them. If this is a person that you have some access to I would just be polite...

    Which bank do you use for your cards?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    For my personal use: I like a combination of the Amex Blue Cash Preferred and the Discover It Card. It just depends what category I'm spending in. For business use: I prefer my Amex. They are more friendly with the business transactions I process.

    INTRO 
    Honestly I don't remember how I found you guys. I think I was looking into flipping exotic cars and stumbled across an Ama. My name is Ryan. I grew up watching my dad always own his own companies. When I was a teenager I spent hours telling myself that I wouldn't work a regular 8-5. After 4+...
