In order to advertise our services to the whole neighborhood we will put out bandit signs at the subdivision's entry/exit streets.I have also been looking into buying a high-speed laser printer and ordering bulk mailing materials from China through Alibaba.

Hi @Charles Coaston I think you are heading the right path by learning your material before you invest regardless that you just want to jump in.

I used to spend several hours stuffing folders, printing materials, stuffing them into large manila envelopes, self addressing them myself and stamps all for very little return.

Most if not nearly all brokers of any size now have web sites and if you are willing to register (sometime only an email address required), it will give you access to all their marketing material (OM's, Proformas's, etc.).

Also, like a partnership, the income passing through an S Corp may qualify as passive income for those shareholders who are not deemed "material participants."

There are probably another 1000 questions to ask.In brief, you need to read and understand the contract and supporting material before deciding to invest.Jim.

Many spreadsheets and templates that could be very helpful for you that are free to download.As many have said - so much of the actual material and labor cost is location dependent so you need to know your local market to really be successful here.Best of luck!

They do have to give notice if the lien includes materials but no notice is required for labor.Lesson #5.
