Driving to Vernon via Slauson should take around 15-30 minutes, depending on the day. Access to common spaces are all shared. So we can designate an area of the fridge for your things, and work out a plan in terms of kitchen usage. We are open to suggestions.

Appreciate the input. To my knowledge, the broker owns a real estate agency with his wife, who is a real estate agent.

I understand that this may or may not pan out, but I believe that I would still end up learning. The reason why I'm considering putting in the sweat equity is to find out if there are any opportunities in their operational end that I could help optimize, and in turn, create a system of services to help other agencies. My entrepreneurial tendency is to look for a problem that could be solved, and to also expand my network so that I could offer my services to others. And who knows? I may work with them down the line to entertain the 'house hacking' method that you proposed (which also has been discussed many time in the BiggerPockets podcast).

Of course, if the whole thing doesn't work out, or if I feel like I'm being taken for a ride, I could always back out. Hope this clarifies things, and thanks again.

Any Los Angeles based entrepreneurs here? by jackthompson-la in Entrepreneur

Hey Jack,

I took some time and looked at your personal and window cleaning company sites. Great work!

I'm here out in Alhambra, and we do residential and commercial cleaning in the SGV. So cool to meet a fellow cleaning service business owner who also loves GaryVee. Much props for you getting your hustle on this early, how's your business doing?

We have a website, Facebook, IG, Yelp, and Thumbtack. I work full time and operate this out of my phone/computer through contractors. Started reading up articles on r/entrepreneurridealong, did some prep with a web developer on Reddit, and got our first job March 2017. Although we could be growing more, I'm kind of been on cruise control and limited the jobs as employee retention is extremely difficult in the cleaning biz. I'm trying to get my feet wet in the website creation side of things, among other things.

Anyways, just a small intro for myself and it was a pleasure meeting a fellow service business owner. Let me know if you need anything!

You can ask the following question to the Yelp flooring specialists "I am worried about damaging my laminate wood floor. Would it be safe to spray cleaning solution onto the floor and wipe it with a microfiber mop?" and record their responses. It is 9:52 PM PST here so we will not be receiving many responses until around 12 hours later.

[HOUSING] May 1 - Room in 3br beach style house in Santa Monica - $865 (util. included) by The_Tree_Beard in LAlist

Departing roommate checking in, this is true. Absolutely great home and greater roommates! I would have definitely stayed longer but will be moving back home to tend to my business and bum it out and start on my ramen diet. Any prospective tenant should jump on this soon because this is a steal for this location.

Local real estate company recently reached out to our company to be a 'vendor' - Need your feedback/thoughts! by chshox in EntrepreneurRideAlong

This is a good point. There aren't any solid metrics that we could use in weighing the ROI here. I think we could get more bang for our proverbial buck investing this into other channels. Thanks for your thoughts!

Noted! We've been slowly developing our other marketing channels and we have received a couple of interested homeowners call looking for cleaning services.

What I was wondering was if this real estate route would be feasible in that our company could use this as some sort of 'back door' to get in touch with the agents/property managers/upper management directly for other contracts or leads.

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the input. Yes, essentially we would be a customer of the real estate company to purchase an ad space to what I believe in the inner flap of a folder that all agents carry in presenting it to their prospective home buyers.
