Hello Everyone!
After reading the author's profile, MJ and having a good laugh at such great humour, I decided to join this forum, because I particularily felt identified to much of his story - especially the e-business part.
Several years ago I built a house in Mexico and started renting it out to help my path to freedom.
Then I came across a need that many renters that spoke French were having a hard time finding French websites in order to find rental units in Mexico. And this is when I had the idea of creating my own website.
It allows rental owners to post their ads themselves, for free (I was tired of websites that charge a fortune, so made mine free to help others), in English, French and Spanish. And if they need help with translation, could do it for a very minimal fee. I even set it up so renters can post their 'request' as a wanted ad. And when the need matches with the ad posted, both parties get alerted. So it saves time for everyone.
Then after having chosen the name RentingInternational.com I got an inquiry from a car rental company asking if they too could post their ad, and that's when I realized I could help anybody with any rental-type, not just real estate post their ads-worldwide.
From there, another need arised which was that rental owners need to 'buy' in order to continue their businesses.
For example, a car manufacturer sells the cars to the distributor, who then rents them out to renters.
Eventually I would like this project to grow so that it pays for charity projects I want to start. Such as teaching kids in school about money, something the school system doesn't provide. I want to sponsor children, as I have seen a lot of poverty in many countries and much more.
As MJ says you should have a partner or do it yourself. I did indeed lose a few years with developers that were inexperienced. So I'm asking for help....to gain back some time. If you could please have a look at my site and let me know what you think, any tips to market it, or how I could improve it, I would be most appreciative!
Thank you for helping me help others!
Kind regards,
Claudia
