How to make $500 into $600 or more in months?

iciegirl

I have around $500 with me and would like to increase it more to maybe $100 in 1 or 2 months time. What should I do? I'm currently unemployed to take care of family.

Answer
Mowing lawns is a good option, you could buy an old lawn mower for under 100 dollars. Mow about 4 lawns per day at around 25 dollars. You make 100 dollars per day, and if you work three days a week. You are making 300 dollars per week, part time. Therefore you make 1,200 in a months time.

You could wash cars, you could charge 20 dollars to wash a car. You should be able to do about 4 cars in two hours. Charge around 20 dollars and you make around 80 dollars per day. If you want to make more money you could detail cars, you make around 125 dollars on average for detailing cars. But it require more work to do, if you choose this route. The best product to get is optimum no rinse and go on the forum called autopia and autogeek.

Next start an office cleaning or window cleaning business, you can get all of the equipment for under 100 dollars.

Buying house...needs your help?

best lawn mower under 300 dollars image

Sasha P

Hello All,

I have upto $50000 savings with me and looking for good house worth $350,000 under FHA loan.

Can you please tell me if this is good decision to buy house with this much balance in my account. What are the initial household expenses we incur when we buy house first time?

I don't have any other debt on me apart from bills and groceries.

Thanks in advance
Hello LA boston girl,

Thanks for your response. I did the math according to your directions.

If I take house worth $350,000 under FHA then with 5% I would pay $17500, HOA $500, Insurance $1500 Annually, Closing cost $5000 which totals upto 24500. I am planning to buy a house of 1500 sq.ft.

Apart from this, is there any other legal cost that I would incur at the time of buying? Yes I would compromise on the buying stuff for house in the beginning.


Thanks again.

Answer
Depends on what lifestyle you want, where your home is located, what's your property tax rate, do you have an HOA to pay and what's the square footage of the home, do you intend on staying there more than 3-5 years? Will you be paying the mortgage on one income or two and how stable are both jobs?

Buying a home is a personal decision. What are your goals and why do you want to buy a home? Are you looking for an investment or are you needing to buy a home so you can start a family, reduce your AGI?

In today's market I would NOT buy a $350,000 home with only $50,000 on hand IF I had only one income that's under $100k annually.

Let's figure this out - If you put 10% down plus closing costs you're going to pay approx $45,000. Assuming you're not paying points. This only leaves you with $5000 in the bank. Unless you do a piggy back loan you will have to pay PMI for not putting 20% down.

Then there's furniture, do you have anything to furnish your house with or do you plan to start shopping to fill your home?

You will have to set up your utilities, security alarm company etc and of course if you haven't owned a home before you'll have to buy standard things like: lawn mower, edger, ladder, 36 gallon trash bin and all those lawn keeping tools that maybe you didn't need while living in an apartment. Also if you live in an HOA community, you will have to maintain your lawn or risk receiving "fines".

Don't forget homeowner's insurance and curtains or mini-blinds if the home is brand new. Depending on how large your house is it could cost you a few thousand dollars. Also consider if you are buying an older home - you'll want at least $5000 in the bank to do repairs once you settle into your home and notice a few critical things that require immediate fixing.

If your household income is over $100k then you could make it if you know for certain you will not become unemployed within the next few years. Just don't go crazy on furniture shopping and live frugally. Again if your job is not stable you should have 6-8 months of salary in liquid cash.

Be sure to find out if you will be paying HOA dues and how often have they increased over the past 2 years. Some locations in California charge $300 - $1000 for the monthly HOA. In Texas you also have to factor in outrageous property tax rates. On a $350k home you'd be paying about $9000 a year in property tax.

What's a good business to start for under $10,000?

Paul L

I have money to invest and I don't have a job so I figure I'll just start my own business. Any suggestions for what kind of business I should start?

Answer
It depends upon what you have as a skillset. A few of my friends from back home started mowing lawns, purchasing the efficient Toro lawnmowers, hired a few laborers, and started a now multi-million dollar landscaping business with nothing more than a truck, trailer, and a few mowers.

A guy in the GA/SC area, that used to detail small and medium General Aviation, aircraft part time got a good name and reputation and eventually won a contract detailing and cleaning military aircraft.

My old neighbor started installing garage doors for Home Depot and Lowe's, as a contractor, and as they provided more work than he could handle he asked them if he could hire someone and take on the additional business. Before the housing market tanked he had all the HD, Lowe's, and Sears business in the Savannah, GA area and was the largest Liftmaster dealer in the area for 2 years running. It was more efficient for a builder to sub to him than to do their own work.

A friend's wife sells jewelry on eBay and at Flea Markets and got large enough that she has 2 full-time employees. I am not sure where she gets the jewelry but do know she sells some that SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) students make but the majority is silver from China. She doesn't do much gold or any platinum. She started out with a few pieces and grew from there.

A guy I played hockey with started a pest control firm after 15 years working for a large pest control company with a big bug. They did not want to pay him some really high bonuses that he rightfully earned so he learned how to get the license and chemicals on his own and do what he had been doing for the past 15 years. He did get in a little scuff when he went to his old customers but he was in business when I left Savannah.

A local kid in the D.C. area started detailing cars at people's homes or businesses and, for about $120-$300, did a job much better than the dealer who was charging just as much money. His business took off and now he does everything from people's commuter car to high-end luxury cars and even antiques with lacquer paint jobs that can't be washed with water and scratch easily.

You should also read some of the stories about the College Hunks Hauling Junk and how they got started. It's impressive and he used his family's skillsets, friend's skillsets, and a fluency in Spanish to build his business.

In any manual labor business you will have a significant amount of competition and you have to separate yourself from the others with strict attention to detail and excellent customer service as well as a lot of pounding the pavement.

All of these folks started with a few thousand bucks and a truck they already owned.

Where can you buy a good Airsoft gun for under $300 dollars, and what do you suggest?

best lawn mower under 300 dollars image

alexnshank

I'm not a beginer, but I only buy of www.shortyusa.com so far, so I need to know another reliable site to buy from. I can aim as well, so take that into account It doesn't have to be expensive or cheap, just good

Answer
I used www.airsoftextreme.com when I purchased my first gun, I included the beginers package and it came out to just under $300 and had a battery, charger, mag, bbs, and gun.

also:
www.airsoftgi.com
www.depot53.com
www.poweredgeusa.com
www.trinityairsoft.com/

p.s. paintball and airsoft are two very different things. If someone wants an airsoft gun then recomending paintball guns is like telling someone asking about cars to buy a riding lawn mower.
