    Starting A SUPREME RESELLING Membership Site

    EXECUTION 
    Hope this isn't too blunt, but this sounds like you'll be buying directly from Surpeme and selling a membership to resellers - essentially being a middleman for a middleman.

    Looking for House Hacking Advice

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Any agent is going to say it's a good time to buy FYI, although I think it is as well. Here in MA, things have shifted significantly to buyers in the past 5 mo. Homes are sitting on the market longer, more price drops, less bidding wars. Interest rates are shooting up - quick. We'll be well...

    Real Estate School - May have just avoided a mistake

    Regarding the real estate class, course material, etc. it's really irrelevant. I don't use it in my day to day as an agent. Not many people do. Like college, you're just paying for that piece of paper, or in this case, license. But I think it's almost always worth it. I started as an agent 5...

    Rental Property Advice?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Some super solid advice from @lowtek and @MidwestLandlord . It's a blessing to have a contractor you can trust (like a friend) to walk the properties with you. For someone like me, it's essential. Not to speculate about your situation, but securing financing for your FHA just might be. If...

    Freelancing: I act like an employee, my client acts like an employer

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Appreciate the logic man, some good points. You have to consider, and I'm speaking in theoretical hopefuls here, but don't you expect freelancers to become more efficient? To spend less time on subsequent tasks? To be able to reference & utilize their past work portfolio? To get better at what...

    Freelancing: I act like an employee, my client acts like an employer

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I don't know where @Ayanle Farah comes off saying that freelancers aren't entrepreneurs. Don't really see his point of view there. OP, the employee/employer dilemma is quite real for you because it is; at least at this point it seems. But even as a freelancer, you are your own business, you...

    What would you do if you CANNOT get a Job ?

    I imagine being able to read for comprehension might help you in the pursuit of both.

    What would you do if you CANNOT get a Job ?

    HOT! 
    Alright, I'll play along. For whatever reason, I can't get a job. Can't even work at McDonalds. There are literally NO options for work. So, I get on Upwork. I take small gigs and continue to work my way up the pay scale. Maybe I take some of that income and invest it into flip opportunities...

    Learning economics

    These two books are among the best in their class. While I vehemently protest communism in any form, Marx's insight into labor, resources, and capital provides much more than a foundational understanding of economics.

    How would a 22 year old with no money and connections enter the world of real estate?

    HOT! 
    At 24, I remember vividly being in the same situation at 22. So I started a marketing company - helping real estate professionals & businesses of all sorts with their marketing (the bread & butter of real estate). Got to know some of the top brokers in the country, their personal strategies...

    Training for Investing in Real Estate

    There's a colleague I know of doing pretty much what you've mentioned in the specific niche of corporate real estate. There are quite a few firms that do real estate advising/consulting in the US. I don't know of many residential firms, but then again, that's kind of what real estate agents are...

    WHERE!?!?!? Does everyone learn to build websites/SEO/Social media marketing?!

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    @Fox @SinisterLex were (and still are) crucial to my development in digital marketing. Their threads, groups, courses - everything they put out is an education. This forum was also extremely helpful too. Watch the right people, see what they're doing, and follow what works. Other than that, I...

    Does the TV show Silicon Valley accurately depict partnerships???

    Please forgive me if I'm thinking too simply, but isn't this just the founder giving up equity for services rendered? As in, giving up equity to bring in additional employees? The reason the "contract" is verbal in Silicon is probably due to a future plot twist of Pied Piper employees fighting...

    Training for Investing in Real Estate

    Sounds like the service is a cross between a real estate agent and a seasoned investor acting as a mentor. Acting as a consultant service would be tough to an extent. You're only really worth the money you could possibly save an investor. And even then, are prospective investors willing to...

    Having massive struggles finding the way to becoming rich

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Most wantrepreneurs hate the process. It is a lot of frustration and working 14 hours a day, but I've never felt the urge or desire to quit. Sure, I consider life without entrepreneurship and with a cozy job, but that's about as far as it gets. Getting "rich" is a process. This shit doesn't...
