A little bit about myself.
I recently (4 months ago) moved from Germany to Orange County, CA and I'm currently still pending my work permit so I I've been recently having plenty of time to think about what to do with my life and what not do but still haven't come up with anything... in Germany I was working in Federal Human resource for the U.S. Army (as a local national) for the past 10 years so my logic told me that I should just pick up another HR job over here but the more i thought about it the more I realized that I never really wanted to work in that field and I'd rather work from home, perhaps being self employed. The only other option I looked into was becoming a truck driver since I was reading about salaries up to 90,000 per year only having to drive around in a truck. I really don't want to have to deal with people (HR) and their problems any longer being stuck in an office everyday for $50,000 per year so at this point I'm scoping out some business ideas. My wife is friends with this philippino family that's in the Assisted Living/Senior citizen home business plus my mother in law was a caregiver so that was one of my ideas. Another one was exporting cars to Germany (stangs, vettes, challengers ect.) Since I live 30 minutes away from the port of Long Beach).
My brother in law is a house appraiser so I thought about flipping houses here in orange county with his help but I was reading that the only way to really make it work is if you have the cash to buy a house and then renovate it which for me would mean to have around $500,000 cash in the OC which i don't. I only have those $40,000 in cash and am really close to spend it all on a lowrider...any better ideas?
