Question by edgar64: Where can I find the Thai fruits Mangosteen and Rambutan?
I was just in Thailand and had some really great food. Among the foods that I ate were two fruits mangosteen (Thai name is mangkoot) and the other was rambutan (ngor). I am not sure if they are imported to the states but, if they are and anyone knows where I might find them I would appreciate it. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and have looked at a few of the local Asian markets with no luck yet. Suggestions and/or ideas are welcome. Thanks.

Question by Andrew V: How to start an Entertainment/Production Company?
I’m looking to possibly start an Asian Entertainment/Production company where I am able to hire filmmakers, actors/actresses, musicians, and whole lots of other Asian population/market in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was wondering if there are resources (legitimate information) out there that has insightful industry stories/case studies that I can read/learn from? In terms of how much it would cost to start up, how much labor’s involved, marketing/operation strategies to implement, and so on; that’s what I’m really curious about. Thanks!

We already did that from a different city. You can spend a few months reading online but in the end nothing substitutes for experience. You need talented, experienced staff and at least $ 500K to get started. If you don’t have distribution, it won’t matter.

Try going to your local real estate investors association. They normally have meetings once a month and as a guest you can usually attend for free. If you want to get into commercial, try working at a commercial only brokerage. They are the better ones to work at unless you want to only invest in single family homes.
