    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Hello, thought I'd drop my opinion here. :) Real Estate is the vehicle that helped me quit my J-O-B. I would start with looking at your current situation and goal. Do you have a job? Career? Is the pay good? Are you getting ahead? Are you in debt? Are you trying to pay off debt or just get ahead...

    EXECUTION 
    I didn't think you could really mess up quality that bad HA so I bought from 3 different suppliers at first. Two of them was 500pcs and one was 400pcs. I took a little bit of risk.. but I thought, how bad could it be? And if they're SUPER bad I'll just sell them at cost.. So the first supplier...

    How I made $690 In Less Than 4 Hours This Weekend

    EXECUTION 
    Haha do it man! In several eBay books I've read.. they talk about the 1/3rd rule. Or 3x rule. Your product should at minimum sell for 3x cost. Because 1/3rd goes to cost of product, 1/3rd goes to shipping and fees or expenses, and 1/3rd is profit. Obviously 5x or 8x would be better. But 3x minimum.

    Why can't you flip things locally? I think locally is the quickest way. I flip cars in my spare time, and I used to flip ipads and iphones and macbooks and silver coins.. but the margins are lower. The more money make the more "lazy" I become. I want more "return on time" now. So what came to...

    Does it make sense to drop out of college to become a real estate agent?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I agree with everything he said. I met with a new Realtor this weekend who's getting started. It is definitely not easy when you first start.. but you have to be careful to not tell yourself "well.. the average realtor makes $15k per year.. so if I just make $25k-$30k I can pay my bills and I'm...
