Over the years I have bought and sold commercial and residential properties.I have also owned many businesses:Laundry Mats - Retail Stores - Flea Markets - Convince Stores - Arcades - Rack Merchandising - Mystery Shopping Company - Auction Centers - Answering Services - Vending - And the list goes on.

Buying houses (I mean, merchandise) for flips fit that description hence classification of being a real estate dealer and subject to the self employment tax.

I am looking to launch a website for my leasing business the City of Chicago.The best part maybe of having a real estate broker helping you find an apartment and acting as your assistant is that the service is free.I want to advertise this service as free, but I am not sure I can do this due to this section found in the Real Estate License Act of 2000, which mentions, 35) Advertising or offering merchandise or services as free if any conditions or obligations necessary for receiving the merchandise or services are not disclosed in the same advertisement or offer.

I have never been to a seminar besides rich dads and that was nothing but trying to up sell merchandise.

The credit card with the higher balance managed to figure out I was right and resolved the issue (which involved offsetting a service purchase, which is easier than offsetting a product purchase because no merchandise has to be returned).

I understand he has to do this to sell the merchandise, maintain the advertising dollars, and build the fan base, etc. so I won't hold it against him, it's his selected line of business.In my opinion the one size fits all talk on a major platform de-values the speaker and their audience.  

Over the week end we opened a Lowes credit car and purchased $6,000 worth of merchandise.  

My Entire Life i hustled no matter the stage, the area,the arena, level or competitive sport and i've realized how important the hustle is its a lifestyle its a culture it pertains to everything merchandising,real estate,sports ,corporate america and globally.My Question is How hard are you willing to hustle?

I worked for a large soda company as a merchandiser, but missed driving.

For example, if your maintenance guy needs to buy merchandise using virtual account at the hardware store, s/he may need a physical debit card.
