Real Estate doesn't only incl Purchasing..  it could be rental direct from owner ... or make a deal between buyer and seller and get comission ! 500,000/- is more the enought to start small real estate office and kick start the business with making deals and taking properties from landlords for rental ! for your kind info. Landlords give you 1 month grace period for the payment during that period you can easily find the tenant if you are good in marketing !

Also 500,000/- is more then enough to start any small business such as fast food etc...

I suggest you go to grocery and buy some lollipops and sell them to Qlers for higher cost !!

All of us "lame" people were assuming that his 500,000 was seed money.   No one I know buys an apartment with cash.   And I said I wasn't even wishing for anything remotely like a home depot.

He has mentioned that he has 500,000 Q.R. so I was wondering with that ,much money where can he buy a small aparment. The apartments start at 900,000 Qatari Riyals. Secondly to start a hardware store like home depot ones needs millions. Coz to rent a place, to renovate it, to bring employees you need a lot more than 500,000.

So I guess all of you who advised this guy should go and eat lollipops and kindly dont give any more lame suggestions.

 

By the way I dont have any advice to give him

All these hole in the wall hardware souqs make it very difficult to find anything.    If someone started a real hardware store (and I'm not even hoping for anything like home depot) they could make a killing here.

Try  selling construction & household materials business inside a mall, something  like the  "ACE Hardware " ( where u can find almost everything u need for your house ) or  lot bigger , sure it will be a hit, especially if  you know where to get the items cheap...........

You are looking for real time input so you can invest your money. First make a business plan and then look for the rest QR 500,000.-- is bnot a lot of money nowadays to invest but real estate has the profile and the advantage.

Then, if morals were no issue, (and we are discussing quick returns in business, so I assume morals are a minor consideration) I'd have to say prostitution- I mean the "companion" or "escort" business.

 

Seems to be thriving from what I can see at the Ramada and that place that used  to be beside the Marriott.  Sure I could expect more than a 15% return on my investment.  Sure that some with "manpower" contacts would be great partners in this business.... :-)

But you need lots of hard work and international contacts and also lots of legal procedures if bringing workers from outside Qatar !! only experienced people can handle such business or if you have worked for a MP company and gained experienced then still it's ok but for a new person i will not suggest !

Fastest growing business is real estate .... with 500,000/- you can double this amount within 1 yr time.. you have to be sharp enought to run the business

"Manpower Company", spend my days looking for ever cheaper sources of under-trained, over-exploited labour.

yes it is the only problem is that most of the gardners are not gardners and can't tell a strawberry from a peach and have no idea about raising plants.
