I stopped into a barber shop and the lady asked me for my phone number.

If you have strong market knowledge and the ability to find deals, working in acquisitions for a syndicator or a real estate private equity shop could be a good fit. 

Hello @Jerry A.Feel free to message me if you have any questions but I would seek out a broker who has access to over 220+ lenders to help do the shopping for you. 

Personal loans through the credit card companies can be approved and fund very quickly and my best rate is 7.9% so shop around as some are much higher.

An example of one package we have is a Romantic Package - $199. 12 Balloons (buy the helium tanks and keep balloons on site for your team or use a local shop)Rose Petal Entry Way (bought off Amazon)2 Dozen Roses (local grocery store for $10-15 each dozen)Led Candle Display (bought off amazon and reusable)I Heart U Signs (amazon and reusable)Champagne (or wine if they want)This equals around $60-70 each time and we pay our cleaner $40 to set up.

I shopped across 15 different institutions for my personal HELOC and they seemed to have the best terms out there.

Lots of great FREE resources on The Short Term Shop social media and website as well!

You can shop 10 or 20 lenders in a weeks time, find out what products they offer, what rates, what overlays and qualifications they each have for you.... 

I can connect you guys, if you're interested in real estate shop-talk. 

@Chris Seveney I remember when cupcakes shops were popping up everywhere and were a big thing.Then, poof, most of them were gone!
