    What to charge for a wholesale price?

    Keystone pricing is 50%, so yes. Now, if you get a distributor involved you can figure on them wanting to buy from you at roughly 30% off that 50% number ($2.00 -.60=1.40)). Then there can also be a sales rep cost of 5-10% off that number. In my case, on my second product that requires me to...

    The Value of Giving Value

    Good for you my friend. I like your approach! I've had many meetings such as yours and mostly they don't lead anywhere, so I encourage you to keep on keeping on through the good and the bad. As you've no doubt heard: it's a marathon not a sprint. But in my opinion it's nice to sprint for as...

    The Process of Creating A Real Product

    HOT! 
    What about sales? That's been the biggest challenge for me. Ideas and products come easily for me, sales on a large scale is much more difficult. I've brought one new product to market, and am in the process of bringing my second product to market. Any tips?

    The Caddy, or the Rolls?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Cadillac makes better looking cars than Rolls Royce by a long shot IMO. Everyone has different tastes though. There is no wrong or right answer, only opinion.

    Have $600k and looking to buy a business.

    I concur on the thoughts of y'all going your separate ways. I've done partnerships before and they're not easy, not at all! I love my four brothers and would never risk our relationships with a joint business venture. Split the money, or if you must do this, only invest a very small portion of...

    Building apartments.

    REAL ESTATE 
    Yep, and neighboring homeowners can throw a major wrench in the works if they don't want you to build an apartment in their neighborhood...you might have needed 50 units to be profitable on the land you bought and you could end up be forced down to a maximum of 36 units on that land after going...

    My situation, how would you proceed?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Last I heard, foreclosures only affected your ability to get a loan for two years...bankruptcy seven years. I'd check around for loans. How's your credit score?

    Building apartments.

    REAL ESTATE 
    Just look for buildings with good bones. Everything else is easily repairable and/or replaceable. I bought a couple of fixer uppers on 2 and 5 years owner finance notes with minimal down...so it's possible. On the other hand I missed out on great properties because of a lack of funding...it gets...

    Building apartments.

    REAL ESTATE 
    If you really want to build apartments, start by hanging out at your local building department meetings. Learn about the process. There's a lot to learn before you're even remotely ready to risk millions of dollars. You need to know the laws, rules and regs inside and out before thinking about...
