Learn how to use your body first as it never leaves you.

I own a lawn care company and web design company and do most of my "make money with my body" through those venues.

But things like rusted out areas, loud noises and/or missing a bumper/needing major body work for a car.I'd be asking the question to myself, "Whoa!

I say this in a half kidding have serious way, for example I had a customer who owned a body shop, very old school with a thick Russian accent. 

The way I look at it is I've had one accident where I had to have body work done and that was $400 over the course of four years.

Originally posted by :I have an apointment tomorrow with the code office to see what i can and can't do.As Karen pointed out, before deciding what one can do with the land to make money, one must first know what one is permitted to do with it (by the local governing body) - so your appointment at the code office is a great place to start.  

Let me show you a pretty reliable way to do this:Start with your 1000, go buy a pickup truck that does not run but has a good tranny, body  ( I say pickup because a LOT of folks that work need trucks...market is decent) Comp your area and find a medium average number of 4 grand for this truck WHEN IT RUNS. get it fixed for say 1-2k now you have up to 3k into it. but it sells for 4000, you now have 2000 to do things with right?

If I go to a bank I can expect my lender to be at least at the same level of sophistication and under regulatory requirements that my or a bank would be subject to, that's why I deal with banks and not loan sharks on a street corner. 

It could involve some body going through boxes of records. 

I am trying to read all of the source documents as well to get a better understanding of the area's regulatory environment.
