After having been in SL for more than one year and gained a lot of skills I'm interested in starting and operating a land rental business with someone who is interested in investing in this and who is able to fund the required financal resources.
I have a business plan and concrete ideas for a professionally lead land rental business. The details of the business plan needs further to be discussed. Depending on the business plan and the risk you are willing to take, we might need US$ 30 K or more to begin. You should be willing to contribute to business meetings several times a week.
It's up to you how much you will contribute to the work that's needs to be done. I prefere an active partner, but this is not a requirement. I see my task in the daily operations and the managment of the business. I've got the skills required to do this.
As you will get involved, actual business data will be prepared and made available for you at any time. Since no single investment will be higher than US$ 1000 you will have reduced risk and control over the money you are willing to spend.
However, the business is risky since the prices for private estates and mainland are fallen and there is a lot of competition around. Further, Linden Labs land and pricing policy might change at anytime and put even more pressure on SL estate business owners. Finally, we are in SL where we have to deal with micro payments and not large amounts.
I have a broad substantial technical knowledge about almost everything in SL. I started with scripting and building, got my first land, established and operated a club, created a mall with vendors and shops, got involved with various SL business issues and finally did some work as an Estate Manager. Now I feel ready for starting my own Consulting and Estate Management business.
In RL I'm a professional IT consultant living in Switzerland. My native language is German. My written and spoken English is good enough for doing my tasks. In general you will find me in-world between 9 AM and 3 PM SLT. However, appointments can be arranged at any time around the clock.
Don't hesitate to contact me for questions and further details.
