I am torn right now.
I currently live in Minneapolis Mn with a few roommates so my expenses are relatively low ~650/month for rent cable, etc.
I currently work in real estate full time and have a BS from a top local business school (csom). I've been wanting to move to a big city -- NYC more specifically. With such a high cost of living in these cities, how is anyone able to get a business started?? everything from rent, labor, food, everything is more expensive! Obviously, I would move there to work in the real estate industry, but there are still quite a few side projects that I am interested in starting up.
My questions are:
If you live in an expensive city, how are you getting started?
Does it make sense for an entrepreneur to live in a city like NYC?
I've been tossing around the idea of moving and just cant seem to decide if it is in my best interest from an entrepreneurship standpoint. It seems like NYC has sooooo many start ups and entrepreurers but how are they starting with out venture backed capital??
