It's a very lucrative business to start a website and drive traffic to then turn around and sell the leads to realtors or lenders.

Keep personal and business finances separate to create less headache.You should also do the following to make your bookkeeping easier:- File all receipts in a dedicated Google Drive folder.

Advise him in writing that - email AND via US postal system with proof of delivery required that the lease remains in effect as is and that you, again, recommend that he file a claim with the provider of his renter's insurance for any losses he felt were sustained. 

Some, like the last one we got in place, used a drive by estimate of value rather than a full interior appraisal.  

Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

Next time it snows drive around looking for snow removal teams and reach out to them for pricing?

Plenty of opportunity within driving distance. 

You don't need to be larger than life, driving flashy cars, or using your looks to make a sale.

For seasonality, I take into account holidays and local events that might drive demand.I'd be happy to connect for more ideas! 

You'll need to really look at yourself and understand what you do well and enjoy, at the end of the day if you enjoy what you do you'll have more drive be successful everyday.
