Your Questions About The Real Biz

Mandy asks…
Growth of restoration biz?
We have to analyze our business and I can’t find any facts of my industry.
My business is a restoration like what Rick’s Restoration does on history channel but I can’t find any facts about it.
I know that more and more people are getting into antiques and vintage things because you see people all the time with that kind of thing.
Can anybody give me some numbers of the growth in restoration? Thank you!
Not that kind of restoration.
One problem with this site is people are stupid and don’t read your question!

Jere answers:
People have always been into antiques and vintage. I have never heard of the show, but I am in real estate and own a nice collection of Victorians and CA cottages. “restoration” is broad, you need to niche. There is a shortage of people who can restore plaster and wood floors. And of course decorative features of Victorians.

Lisa asks…
Real Nickname please!?
Okay so me and my bro here are having some trouble.
We need to know the real nickname for Lelouch in ‘Lelouch the Rebelion’
I say its Lulu and my bro says its De-Douche.
Plz help cause Lulu is my fave character and I don’t appreciate him dissing him.

Jere answers:
I think it really is Lulu.
In the original Japanese, Lelouch is written “????”.
So, they use ”??” at times I think. (Literally “Ruru”, since there is no “L” specific katakana.)
You can see how “Ruru” makes sense for the Japanese, and “Lulu” makes sense for the English audience =3
At this site, I think a few people call him “??”.
Beware, there are pictures for MAJOR SPOILERS, as in the ending of the R2 series here.
This is a discussion on the upcoming 2010 Code Geass series, by the way =3

Thomas asks…
what is real estate appraiser school like?
I live in souther california; was wondering what real estate appraiser school entails and what the requirements are for licensure

Jere answers:
Desolate!
Friend, try another career! There are tons of appraisers ‘bugging” out of the biz due to the INTERFERENCE of the App Management Companies. Another “well intentioned idea gone awry”.
Dig it, the Lender is charging the borrower $400 to $500 for the required appr job. Then they turn around and pay the Appraiser $200, a mere pittance. So the fellas are now doing more work, cuz we’re mandated to add another form 1040MCC, for half the fee!!?
However if you have some “inside” source that is gonna feed you enuff work, have at it!
1st you’ll need to learn the “Language” of the biz: your basic RE courses, Appraisal courses and RE Finance courses. 2nd you take the “Practicum” courses in which you study the hows of the Art. Then you gotta find a Mentor that will let you Apprentice for a year, you need 2000hrs before you can strike out on your own!
My opinion: they killed a perfectly cool career in which you could drive out to a property in the AM do your field work, then head back to the office and spend the “hottest” part of the day in the A/C processing the report, it was a sweet routine!
Me, I took my Brokers Lic and ventured into the sales side of the biz….ALAS!

Richard asks…
If a business is not profitable in Ontario, what happens?
Say I start a small business selling a product. Not many people want to buy it, and I make a minimal amount of cash. $200 a year or something. It’s not my primary source of income, so it’s not a problem to me. But is the business at risk from not being a business or something? Do you have to apply for licenses?
I ask because I have this idea for selling something, but I’m not sure a lot of people would want to buy it. Still, it’s something I’d like to do, and I can’t lose anything from it. What legal repercussions are there if my business doesn’t fair well?
Is there a difference in the outcome of what happens to business that are not very profitable, and ones that lose money? Is there a status my business could lose?
I haven’t looked into this at all. I’d really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.
Nono, I want it to be a real business. My concern is that I want to play it safe. Only do it on the side and not invest too much money until/(if) I can go full time with it.
My concern is this – what happens if I am only making a few hundred dollars per year, but it’s a registered business? Is that okay? Is there a threshold of profits a business requires?

Jere answers:
Since yours is not a real biz, you are free to try to sell
something to someone. That is either a single or a very
infrequent activity or a hobby.
Canada has some dif laws than USA does.
But basically, you have no obligations.
Do not volunteer you are a biz, just that you have
something to offer whomever……….

Chris asks…
i need a real job at home no mlm biz?

Jere answers:
Well I can help you out with a referal to a place that allows you to work from home. However, home jobs only pay minimum wage. If this is sufficient amount of income for you, then you can email me and I’ll be happy to send you a web site to a company where you can apply for a home job.
From what I’ve experienced, if you really want to make a sufficient amount of income, then I suggest you start your own home based business. There are plenty of options to have. Most home based business cost under $500 dollars. You have the same income opportunity as a traditional business without all the over head expenses. This is what we have done and was able to start our non profit organization softin. It’s also now is a major funding resource for other non profit organizations.
If you’d like more information on home based businesses, or would like the link to a home based job to apply for, feel free to email me at tvague@seafaringopportunities.org
