Recently several people I know in the real estate arena are looking for additional cash flow opportunities and one area is in the area of e-commerce - there are several real estate gurus out there who are now pitching automated online stores.The premise - pay an up front fee of between $25,000 to $40,000 for their team to help you - set up your company, establish a credit card to buy product, build your online store and presence, research products, place them and market them on your store, sell them before you buy them, then using your credit and credit card, they buy them and fulfill the order to the customer. 

The process is easy and the forms are online.

My fiance and I started a small online retail business and so far it's doing decently well but I quickly realized it was not the route to financial freedom but more of a hobby/ nice supplemental income generator.

They also keeping telling me they will get the online payments set up no problem.

@Joe S.Definitely a joke, but with a really, really, really risky potential to double your investment.That kind of money, you should be confident where you’re placing it IMONo online opinion would sway my decision after reaching that landmark.

Have Them Sign New Leases - I need to have them sign new leases with me instead of the property mgmt companyWork out rent/payment details - Online Pay - I plan to offer online rent pay options through Apartment.com's property management toolIn-person Drop Off / Mail-In option / Night Drop Box I have a local credit union with multiple branches.

My younger self would be driving Amazon by day at $25/hour and taking online accelerated courses for business administration BA and MBA, and get certifications in project management like SAFe Advanced Scrum Master or Certified Scrum Product Owner. 

When things started getting sorted out and they started offering classes online I was able to finish my classes and ultimately get my license. 

Generally I've seen rates for the online DSCR lenders be higher than what a broker would offer.

My business partner and I have been in sales for 15+ years so we scoured social (online) and real businesses and pitched them for 1-2 years (2017-2018)Once we got 1-2 major contracts (minor league hockey team & health care company), word of mouth and reputation did most of the work.
