The venture game: What investors want
16.04.09
(Fortune Small Business) -- Matt Douglas had just embarked on a down-to-the-studs renovation of his home in Natick, Mass. when he and a colleague, Sean Conta, quit their jobs to launch MyPunchbowl.com , an event-planning Web site. "My wife and I were living in one 12-by-8-foot room, along with the refrigerator, stove and two cats," Douglas recalls. "Sean would come over around 8:30 every morning. Then we'd sit at our two little desks with construction noise in the background."
They worked on consulting projects until 4 p.m. and hammered away on MyPunchbowl until 10 each night. This arrangement did have an unintended benefit. "Our presence definitely motivated the crew," he says. "They probably finished sooner than they might have otherwise."
It also gave him a contractor's perspective on finding the right MyPunchbowl investor. "Starting a business is not unlike building a house," he says. "The framework goes up pretty quickly, but it takes a long time to get the details right."

I bought a condemned 4 unit apartment building in New Hampshire. I have refurbished and rented 3 units...?
Dec 13, 2007 by D.J. | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
This has taken twice as long and cost 3 times as much as I had budgeted. Now I've invested all of my savings. After many visits from city inspectors I've finally rented 3 of the 4 units.
I have to concentrate my "real" job for a while. So, I want to wait till the spring to re-do the last unit. I've shut off the electricity and water to the 4th unit. There is still some water in the pipes under the sink and comode. Do I have to keep the place heated? If so to what temperature? What else should I do to protect my investment while rebuilding my savings account?
Either keep heat on (low) or blow out the water lines. You also need to consider the drains and traps by putting antifreeze in them so they won't break.

My 23yo brother has saved $60,000 US. He wants to buy a house. What is a more sensible investment?
Jul 13, 2006 by ig6t4or9 | Posted in Personal Finance
$60,000 doesn't buy much of a house in New Hampshire - a shack really, but he's hung up on the idea of home ownership. I think he could really set himself up for life if he invested it wisely.
A house is very sensible. It will keep up with inflation. You just can't go wrong with investing in real estate, as long as you intend on keeping it enough years to recognize the increased value. These days, that can mean just a matter of months, depending on where you live, like California!

Who would vote for Mitt Romney on his record?

I have one prescription that costs more than the insurance cost in Mass.
I would. In terms of economic policies, he is very smart. As a fiscal conservative, he impresses me with his limiting government, pro-individual stances.
