That’s true, there are many mini-dorms in those areas but I don’t know whether they are students. Some of them are just people in low-paying jobs (I know several who live in these). I guess it’s one way people manage to afford living in SD.

pfflyer, that’s a nice looking home. Buy it!

I’m at South Mission all weekends but wouldn’t buy a house in PB just because of traffic. It’s fine driving down once or twice a week, but I couldn’t imagine how people live with pretty much one freeway exit (Balboa/Garnet) serving all PB/MB/Soledad areas. How can you stand it?

Hi FLU,

Thanks! Sorry, I just saw your post.

I know what you mean about not wanting VC’s. Angel investors are much better! I quite easily raised $1M to start up a small company in 1998, but didn’t end up taking the money because the Japanese economy (where I was starting the company) took a downturn and I wanted to sit it out. I know of a company that has had multiple $25M rounds of investment cash from a single, super-wealthy Kuwaiti oil prince.

I’m my own consulting company and have been since y2k. I do ASIC deisgn, mostly for wireless. Last year I started a movie production company on the side.

$50k is more than enough to start a small business.

I didn’t have a good experience with SCORE. The dude basically told me it wouldn’t work and I would amount to nothing. He was old and jaded and I was young. He was wrong, I’ve come far.

Viddy this: buy a high-end camera, some lights, and some background muslins… POOF you’ve got a photography business for $10k.

There are people who sell T-shirts to tourists at La Jolla Cove who make over $100k net. All it takes is blank shirts, a silkscreen, and some creativity.

Travel to some unusual, far-away place. Take photos and write a book about it. Poof! You’re a travel writer.
