The way I see it, it's better to rent. I rent a one bedroom apartment, and I've had no closing costs, don't have to pay for repairs, and I'm not tied down to anything just in case I need to move. Also, the money that I'm "pissing away" each month on rent is equivalent to the money I would be "pissing away" paying maintenace fees and taxes. Any money that I do have to invest I can put in the stock market. I have just as good of a chance to get 10-12% gains there as I do in real estate. So am I missing something?

I have a really awesome and unique business concept. I have the business plan almost completed. I need 185,000 less my 35,000 so 150,000. I recently applied for an SBA loan but want to have other options ready if it falls through.

What is the best way to raise this kind of capital?
If I get angel or private investor what percent of equity or (profit) would I be expected to give up and for how long.
Finally, should I be concerned about showing people my business plan?

Boy is THIS question going to update our usage of this question site!! I'm making a film and my cushion ($) is naturally limited.
Before burning the rest of the funds, an idea hits me!
My time is limited when it comes to anything more than the project at hand, so here is my golden question that I believe will wake up ALL our emaginations here in Question-Land....
A person has $3,000.00 just waiting its turn in a spending pile.
I have about three months till I get to a point it will be used.
What is the most brilliant way to turn 3 large into a bigger amount in three months? (I was talking legal by the way!) Ya, that does pose an INTERESTING question!
When the winning answer works, I will share HALF the PROFIT of the comback with you... that's right....HALF? WHY?..I'm not a con, I am an HONEST man and that's just the way I behave in a difficult/temperary world!
O.K. class, put on your thinking caps!

I need serious thinkers!?
Ok so here it is: My boyfriend and i have just moved into our first appartment, we both have jobs and make "decent money."However, we aren't making enough 2 really enjoy our stay there so i've been trying to think of different side jobs that i could do 2 earn extra cash. My father is a good investor, for instance he buys sailboats for a reasonable price that need work and then fixes them up and sales them for a much higher price. Well, obviously i don't have the money 2 buy a cheap sailboat so i was wondering if you could give me some ideas 2 help me out! So far i've thought of many things but not what i'm looking for ie: garage sales, and selling things i make @ a Flea Market.

Anything you have 4 an idea would be great!
Thanx

I would also appreciate suggestions on investing in general, as well as specific suggestions. Although I am very good at the things I do to maintain livlihood, I haven't spent much time becoming educated in the arts of making money work for me instead of me working for it.Thanks in advance everybody.
