Contracting...

Bryan P.
Posted

Just found out I'm losing my job in 5 months. Will get it back within 3 years or so-have to hire me back by law. So I have to find something to produce income for the next few years.

Was thinking of starting a low-start up cost business such as drywall contracting or painting. I don't know.

I know alot of you folks are real estate people but if you have any experience with these types of businesses, please advise. Possible success with this type of business in this economy?

This area is rural town with mid-size metros about an hour away. One of the cheapest areas in the country.
