My plan is to continue with what I have been working on in real estate. I have been struggling to keep my head above water for a few years as a contractor with the economy lagging. I have been building relationships with investors and it looks as though I may have a joint venture partner, he provides the money, I provide the labor for market price, and we split profits. Since the economy is so unstable several wealthy clients have seen me consistently buying run down buildings and are tired of the ride they get in stocks. They may come on board to fund a project.
I believe that my future will be in buying, processing, and selling e-scrap. I want to get away from contracting and feel this provides a good opportunity. I am working on a business plan and it will give me a better idea of how to reach a full time salary with it. I have starting with a little test marketing and already had good results. I also have a few ideas. Here they are:
* Municipal e-waste Recycling
A few of the local boro building have paper recycling receptacles in their lots. I would like to get mine next to them.
* School Recycling / Fundraising
Come fall schooll will be back. I am working now to gain contacts to do an electronics drive that will benefit the school and me of course. Mutual profit is a good thing.
* Sports Groups, Non-Profits, Local Organizations
Fundraising events with collections where portion of proceeds goto group.
One of the ideas I am working on is accepting the stuff, fridge, a/c, etc. most electronics drives refuse.
I am also working into my plan a method to schedule pick ups for event supporters that want to donate or recycle larger appliances.
