How or where do you get a job when you’re 58 & considered “TOO OLD” by the Whippersnappers!?
I used to own a motorcycle shop and figured that I would retire in that business and be set for life but then the landlady decided she wanted to collect insurance and renovate so she burned it down. Since then I moved to the Desert and my health is WAY better now and I had a heart operation last year and I started a real estate sign POST business that WILL be doing well when the real estate market improves but I have been putting in resumes everywhere and it seems that all of the younger people are getting the jobs. What is there left for us “old people”? I can type like a fiend and I’m good with computers and I’ve got a good brain, and I’m a good salesman but no one seems to care. HELP!!!?
(I never considered this happening … people should be OLD first and then become younger so that they can use their knowledge when they’re able. I’ve been looking at these “work from home” jobs on the internet but they all seem to be scams. I live in the Palm Springs, CA area if that helps)
Dang … I didn’t know tht word would date me so much. My Hell’s Angel customers in my old motorcycle shop used to call people whippersnappers, it was just a biker term that meant “newbies” or “smart alecs”. I always thought it was a “cute” term so I use it from time to time just by the by. Makes me want to grab my bumbershoot and go out on the town.
JjS … I didn’t work on bikes myself. I ran the store and made sure the bikes were done on time and handled the advertising and printed & designed the mailing list and sold parts up front and paid the employees who worked with me and built the business from doing $50k per year to $250k per year. We even beat the Honda dealership for sales in ONE month … I really loved it but it would cost a fortune to build another one now with all the new EPA rules and laws and govt restrictions.
Vince … I shoulda bought a WATER TRUCK when I first moved here. Seems that they are in the biggest demand and the pay is good. There’s a dust law around here ever since a couple died of dust inhalation so all the dirt roads and building projects have to be dampened to prevent dust.
People here aren’t old … the average age in Palm Springs is 77 but most people live to 100 or more … the Desert seems to be very good for health purposes. I should start a grocery delivery biz to supply the seniors eh? Not sure how to advertise it though. I’ve got my thinking cap on but I think it needs new batteries.
Used Car Business Idea, will it work in Orlando, FL Area?
I moved to Daytona Beach, FL to do Real Estate a few years ago, but Real Estate market drastically slowed down and now I am looking to do something else instead. I have always been around car business all my life, and I am a car enthusiast (BMW). My father used to buy and ship cars over seas 10 years ago, and now it is a big business again, since the dollar is weak compared to Euro. Anyway, what I wanted to do is lease a lot, get a license, and sell used cheap cars. A lot I wanted to rent was to be close to Orlando but not in the best location but cheaper lease and where I can store more cars. Then buy cars like Corolla, Camry, Neon, Focus, Altimas, etc under $10k and sell them over on EBay, Autotrader, and wholesale some to dealers that take them over seas. And I would get a small business loan for my inventory. I want to sell them a little over wholesale but do volume. Since now, you don’t really need the best location with help off eBay and Autotrader, people find you on Internet when they look for a car. ??

Can I go to college at 16 yrs old?
OK why I’m wondering is because I want to be in real estate at 18 and my school isn’t teaching me what I really need to know…. like I really need to know how rocks form and history (if I want to know the stuff I will go on the internet and research it out) I want to drop out at 16 then enroll in a Arizona online college (Arizona is my state) take my courses. Then get a real estate tax id at 18 and go off and start my career right there! AND don;t say no one will hire you if you don’t have a high school diploma! One thing I’m working for my self (being my own boss) and another is that if they see I have a real estate certificate from college I don’t think they’ll complain! Also please don’t tell me my career chose sucks because I choose to do it and its my chose. So I just need an answer to that 1 q.
Also I’m not going to work at some fast food place! I know I need money before I start my own business! I’m going to work for a realter company! And if they see I have tooken classes and etc they will hire me! Also there government grants for businesses! The real estate market is good for what I want to do! So please don’t say wait for it to go back up! I want it down! Don’t ask me because its one of my business secrets that I don’t tell sorry.
I know tooken isn’t a word but I like it so i’ll use it except if I’m in a meeting! (its taken I know)
How Do I Find A Real Estate Investment “Silent” Partner?
I have had great success investing in houses in the Atlanta, GA market. The last two houses I purchased, I bought for less than 50% of their appraised value. I have always gotten a 75% mortgage after doing minor repairs which has given me cash at closing and still have a 25% equity stake in the rental property. However, lenders are now limiting the number of rental properties one person can borrow against to only 4 properties. Since I already have more than four, I need a partner who is interested in getting the mortgage in their name. I would do all the work (finding the house, fixing it up, and getting a renter) and give up 25% of the profits. How can I find people who might be interested in this type of investment partnership? Are there investment inquiry sites on the internet?
I need help with more ideas on a home I have for sale?

My sellers are happy with everything but I would like to get it sold before the move in their new home in September. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated. Thank you.
