About

I am a student at Shawnee Mission South High School. I am in 10th Grade and I am doing this because I am taking Entrepreneurship class, but im also looking forward to have a business in the future. After High School, I want to go to college and study in some type of Engineering degree. After or while being in college I would like to create a business in Real Estate. Im interested in Real Estate because my parents have a small business like that where they buy homes that are in bad shape, fix them, and then they sell or rent them. I found it interesting too so I would like to continue their business or create a whole new one.

Part 1:

Problem: People need places to live therefore they need homes, people have families so they need shelter,
homes for protection from the environment, and Real Estate is a high demand business
Products: 1. Small Home- $160,000 2. Medium Home- $210,000 3. Large Home- $290,000 4. Renting Small Home - $1,350 5. Renting Medium Home- $1,750 6. Renting Large Home- $2,100 7. Logo Short Sleeve Shirt $ 35.00 8. Logo Long Sleeve Shirt $ 40.00 9. Logo Hat $ 25.00 10. Logo Hoodie $ 40.00

Part 2:

Customers: Adults 25-34 in the KC Metro who are Looking to get started in life with buying or renting a home.

Part 3:

Channels: I would communicate with my customers with Facebook, Word of Mouth, Instagram, Yard signs, and Zillow.

Part 4:

Competitors: I would compete with Zillow, Realtor.com, and Platinum Reality.
What makes me different is I will make Quality Homes, its Family Owned, I am a young Entrepreneur, I would have skilled workers, I would pay attention to details, and I also have my parents who have experience in this business.


Next Steps

I think what I need would need guidance on how to move forward and how to start a business and how it all works, like the legal process and everything.

If I did win I would use the funds for my education for now, but later I could use the money for my houses, workers, vehicles, tools, and materials.
