Mosquito spraying company. Seems to be on the up right now and if you work hard probably could make some money One of the guys mentioned that but it being seasonal kinda steered them to other ideas. It's not "kinda" seasonal. It completely shuts down I have a buddy who owns mosquito authority franchise here

I tried to sell 'em on lawn mowing but they don't like to sweat With enough properties one could easily repay the start-up money and make a profit pretty easily in one season. Then everything would be paid for and pure profit. When I was doing it there wasn't that many people doing it. Now the word is out on the money and everybody is trying to get into it.
I would rather be tried by 12, than carried by 6.

Spray attic insulation in older communities like Mt Brook. Used truck, new machine, and material for close to 20k. The profit is very good.

The last time this thread come up, somebody said they were gonna start up a typewriter repair business. Making hand over fist. Who was it? That was me. The rent on the kiosk in the mall went up, and its cutting into my bottom line.

It would have to be a service business of some sort that didn't require much in the way of inventory. Lawn service and small carpentry jobs like building decks and such come to mind. There's money out there to be made for someone willing to work and will actually answer their phone. True story! I picked up three new yards this week because the other guy didn't show up and/or we actually answered the phone.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I'd buy four or five Tasers and start a "Tase Your Bro for Fun!" funhouse with beer, pizza and a foam-lined maze.

Buy house for $10k, put $5k in repairs, deposit $5k in savings. Sell house for $30k. Bank statement now says $35k instead of $20k. Repeat. You better know how to hustle and not be afraid of work but the money's there for the taking.

Gigalo. A pack of condoms, a flip phone, and some cheap cologne would bring the total start up cost in under a Hundred bucks. That's my vote ... that would leave you $19,900 to party with

If you are honest , not afraid to cold call, know people that own businesses, motivated enough to go to work everyday when no one is making you, can communicate and deal with many different personality types , talk to mom and pop business owners one minute and multi millionaires the next and and treat both with the same respect , I know a business you can get in for zero money but the $20k sure would make paying the bills easier the first year while you build a client base. ( I didn't starve but I thought I might) It isn't easy but once you've been in it a few years you can take all the time off you want and still get paid every month since it is residual.

I got suckered into a CC processing deal by a smooth talking salesman like that. You could have left out the taking all the time you want off part, it wouldn't have stung as badly. LOL
