<div class="bbWrapper">$1, $1000, $10,000, $100,000 or $1,000,000 it just won’t matter how much you have if you are not the master of it.<br />
<br />
If you are totally lost with your finances and are looking for a way to dig out, I would like to tell you what I am doing. <br />
<br />
It doesn’t matter if you are in debt beyond your means and only have $1 to start with. <br />
<br />
It just requires creativity and willingness to step outside your box and exercise some discipline.<br />
<br />
Buy/Sell<br />
That’s right. You are going to buy something and re-sell it for more than you paid for it. <br />
<br />
It does matter what it is however. What I did when I first started out was track items of personal property in the classifieds. I called the owners of the items that had been up for sale for more than a week and asked if the item was still available or sold, and what price did it sell for.<br />
<br />
In this way you will get a feel for the market without having to expend any capital. Once you have tracked some items and know the price range, quality and how quickly they sell for, <br />
you go ahead and make your buy offers based upon what you know you can sell the items for. As a rule of thumb I look for a minimum of a 25% to 50%+ mark up.<br />
<br />
You will need a cell phone, a way to get around and an internet connection is helpful.<br />
<br />
It really is as easy as searching the classifieds (1hr), buying your item(1hr), making a Craigslist ad (15min), negotiating with potential buyers and making a cash sale (2 hours). <br />
<br />
Once you start selling items that are over $2000 your hourly income gets what I call decent ($100/hr+). You capital is your earning limit. Use discipline and grow your capital.<br />
<br />
There are a million different techniques and details that we could get into if there is any interest in this thread.<br />
<br />
There are many who have used this technique, it could be a baseball card or multi-million dollar house, it’s the same game. <br />
<br />
Ok, it’s hard to make a system out of it, so there is really no way to turn passive income. <br />
<br />
But you can start with nothing and with some work to get yourself into larger money deals. (There really is no upper limit…)</div>
