How can I raise $30,000 for a great business opportunity?

I have a chance to purchase a motel, restaurant, two bedroom house, and a cottage for a great price, but I need about $30,000 for the down payment and some necessary remodeling to get it ready to open. The problem? I have bad credit (it is a long story and I'll spare you the details). Does anybody have any ideas on how I can raise or borrow the 30 thousand dollars?

    If you cannot handle your own personal finances what makes you think you can handle a motel?

    Best is the old fashion way -- savings over time. $30,000 can be saved by most people. There will be other "opportunities" when you have demonstrated you can handle money.

    My parents earned less than $10,000 per year, raised 4 kids, all who went to college, and had about $200,000 excluding the value of their home, by the time they retired.

    Besides, it is not just the down payment -- you need working capital -- that is the money you need to pay workers, pay electricity and water, pay for food in your restaurant. If a relative asked me for $30,000 for a business, I would ask for a business plan and a track record of being able to make money.

    So work on that record first.

  • I'm gonna guess that nobody's gonns lend yer broke *ss the money unless you can cough up some mean colateral all of a sudden.....

    so...

    sounds like raising it's the option

    bummer about these capitolist pigs:

    takes money to make money

    investments of whatever sort apparently return money invested plus some....

    um investments

    uh dunno

    sh*t - supply and demand i guess

    somewhere in your area or over the internet somewhere are people who demand something...supply them

    all sorts of things are worth money...

    heheh uh goods services

    what do they need?

    would it be worth your time to invest in something in bulk?

    but then where and how to sell?

    uh

    jeez...if i had the time, dude, i'd go lookin up popular products or services fer ya but

    i guess that's your job

    um

    get whatever money you can together and gamble on some interim investment or another

    um

    or several

    crap..... good luck, friend

    Try getting a small business loan through the government. Sometimes if you meet certain qualifications no matter how shaky your credit is, you may qualify.

    let this one go,,,,you don't have any idea what you are getting yourself into and if you already have poor skills with money, you'd better stay away from business., NO ONE is going to lend someone with poor credit money...No ONE.....The IRS can jail you for not paying them.....
