Got like $4k-$5k and not sure how I could make money. Flipping things found at garage sales and sale on ebay? Anyone know if that's a good method to make some $$? Do stores like Goodwill and thrift shops really have good stuff sometimes or is it better to stick to garage sales and what should I look for? Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Get a job. Not sure what the median wage is in your area, but $4k-$5k should be about 1-3 months work. Passive investments only return a few percent a year. Going into something entrepreneurial (as per your OP suggestions) is a lot of work and unlikely to return as much as a regular job, unless you're very lucky and/or work really hard.


Airbnb is passive?

Thanks to trudope there are anti-flipping laws in place now on real estate.

Basically works out that unless you own the home now for more than 5 years, you will be taxed out the ass on any profit.

Получил около 4-5 тысяч долларов и не знал, как я могу заработать деньги.Переворачивать вещи, найденные на гаражных распродажах и распродажах на ebay?Кто-нибудь знает, хороший ли это способ заработать $$?Действительно ли в таких магазинах, как Goodwill и секонд-хендах, иногда есть хорошие вещи, или лучше придерживаться гаражных распродаж, и что мне следует искать?У кого-нибудь есть идеи?Спасибо.


How does the author of the text plan to earn money after receiving the amount of 4-5 thousand dollars? Does he consider flipping items found at garage sales and eBay sales? Any tips on where to look for items to resell and what items might be of interest to buyers?

Media like games books is a good buy depending, electronics, the key is find items you think a buyer might want and haggle as low as possible

this sounds like a horrible ROI for your time.

Your initial cash is not high enough to warrant your time. Your best bet would be Trailers, Boats or cars. Maybe you can partner with a friend that's mechanically inclined. He does the work and you bring the cash. Then split it.

You may be able to scale this as well because you find the deal he does the work.
