Flipping Cars
I wonder if there's an avenue worth pursuing with title loan places? I figure these types are dealing with high risk and get a lot of repos. I doubt they want to be in the car selling business, although maybe they send them to auction.- Excalibur

How to detect deceitful people
HOT!Great thread! I struggle with trusting people, and often times I trust too much. I wonder if people with ill intentions pick up on that and exploit it? I’ve read that narcissists are able to detect that. I find it mildly fascinating since I completely suck at reading anyone, good or bad...- Excalibur

Why they say "McDonald's is more a real estate business than a food business"?
Walmart does this. They buy more land than their stores need, so they can control who their neighbors are, as described in this article. THE WALMART way- Excalibur

My Real Estate Progress Thread
EXECUTIONYou're one of the few people I have seen that think that way. I also agree. I bought my 1st property and paid it off in 3 1/2 years. Bought a 2nd on a 30 year note to allow breathing room, with intentions to pay off under 5. Perhaps not fast lane, but I am comfortable with my pace.- Excalibur

Appliance Flipping
HOT!I 2nd this. I deal in scrap metal. You'll lose money hauling them to scrap. One idea might be to see if the yard will let you buy appliances? You'd want to get them before the claw does. My inventory comes from ads offering free scrap metal removal. Many times it's a stupid simple part. With...- Excalibur

A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)
GOLD! SIDE HUSTLEI've been slacking off again. Here's a flip from June. Bought it in May. Had a few weeks of fun driving it. Took it through the parade. Then sold it. Paid $6,500. Sold for $13,900. Maybe could have gotten more, but I couldn't find too many in this condition to compare. Either they were total...- Excalibur

23 and own shave ice shack, coffee shop, yet stuck
INTROJust read the entire thread. Sounds like you'd be happier doing shave ice instead of coffee? I ran a shave ice business from 2003 to 2014. Wasn't a huge moneymaker, but I did okay. I also pondered getting into coffee, since so many customers said I should. In the end I decided it would be more...- Excalibur

A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)
GOLD! SIDE HUSTLEThere were 4, that IIRC sold between $3,000 & $3,700, plus 16% premium and 6% sales tax. There might have been some money to be made, but I was partnering with my dad on this one, and that was too much risk for me. He sees what I do and wanted to try it. Just got back from Colorado and sold the...- Excalibur

Question about HELOC
REAL ESTATERed, I could ask my HM lender if he'll report to the bureaus. Reason I didn't want to get another HM loan is he charges 10% plus penalty if paid off in the first year. A 10% mortgage was a large part of my motivation to get it paid off quick. Plus with him I am pretty certain I'll have to borrow...- Excalibur
