Home Business 9 - Start A Roommate Finding Sevice

Here's a solid home based income opportunity for you. Make extra cash on a full or part time basis by providing a roommate finding service from your own home.

This super home business opportunity can be started with little or no capital - it's easy and it works like a charm.

How This Home Business Works

It doesn't matter in which city or state you live in, this type of service is in great demand anywhere. House prices are up and so is the rising price of rentals - in fact rental stock is in such great demand that there is a shortage of it in the market. Due to these factors, many people are turning to shared living arrangements.

The first thing you must do is to setup a small area in your home to be your office. You will need a desk and some chairs as well as a computer with database software.

You will need a business name and a bank account to match. You will also need a business license - check with your local licensing office.

You then start building a database of people who are looking for roommates. You can categorize the stock according to area, prices, special conditions, etc.

Start building a database by contacting people who have spare room and who are seeking roommates. You can find them by putting up posters, handing out fliers or advertising in newspapers as well as on the internet.

You then start advertising to people who are seeking accommodation. You can use the same marketing methods as above.

When accommodation seekers call you, you check your database and tell them what you got available. In other words, you try to match an accommodation seeker to the stock you have on your database.

Once you have a match and the seeker is happy with the terms, then you arrange for them to see the accommodation. If both parties are happy, you can assist in drawing up a lease agreement for them. You get paid a commission by the accommodation provider when the deal is signed.

This home business has great profit potential and room for growth. You can build it up into a fairly large business. Give it a go.
