So I really have a dream to start/own a hair, nail salon and spa. I have ideas on how to start but obv I need capital. I have fam who have the dough but getting them to come up off it is unlikely. Wondering if it may be more attainable to buy a multi fam in the next few years and then delay my business dream.

Regardless of whether you ask your people or a bank, do you have the following?
  • A business plan
  • Target demographic
  • Advertisement plan
  • Potential or favored locations and sizes of facility
  • Startup money (ex: 5k, 10k)
  • You or a biz partner up on necessary licenses and certs
When you say "multi fam", what are you referring to exactly?

I loosely have these things, but definitely not written down anywhere. That’s my goal over the next month, I’ve just started formulating the plan in my mind.

Multi-fam refers to a multi-family property, another goal of mine is to purchase an income-generating property.

Anyone ever leave a job off your resume? Meaning someplace you worked at for less than a year.

If it’s less than 2-3 months I think you’re fine. Someone else asked a similar question about bouncing 2 months into the role. I think under 3 months and you’re good. Over 3 months and under a year get’s tricky.

I know other ways around short job stints like going the contracting route. I just hate bring asked questions about dumpster fire type work environments. It's a struggle to think of anything good to say about them.

Anyone make money with options trading? Have 1k to fukk around with and I'm okay if I lose it all. I already know about and how to go about with actual stocks investing. With options I understand the basics somewhat but how do you go about finding a good deal? I'm using RSI, CCI and MacD and eyeing the news constatly but still not 100% sure when I'm looking at a good deal.

You should probably stick to stock imo. Options are like stock trading with 5+ additional variables to take into account. Waay too much things for a straight up recommendation

If you really want to gamble just because, then I say do 1 of 2 things
  1. Buy outright calls on a stock that you like with at LEAST 1.5-2 months left that is at-the-money or near-the-money so that you have a fighting chance of being right
  2. Buy straddles (equal amount of calls and puts so that you stand a chance to make money as long as the stock moves strongly in either direction) 1-2 weeks before an earnings call
I am not a professional so take this with a grain of salt FYI

I was trying to by a Call today but Schwab didn't allow me. Said I can't purchase Naked Puts.

What platform are you using?
