If I were you check out the foreclosure section in the local newspaper everyweek. You would be suprised at what you will find. There are people that make a living off buyin these. Also, If someone is losing their house to foreclosure offer to take over payments and save their credit. Maybe throw them 10k for doing it.
31, I own and run a tattoo and piercing studio, although I dont do any of the 'art' myself. I take care of the biz and my employees take care of the customers. My gf is my piercer and front end counter person.
on the side Im a semi pro poker player. $30000 sitting on my ass playing poker over the last year has been a pretty good way to spend the days.
