I see these for sale often, usually a smaller mom and pop style one. I am sure most go in a creative situation since most relies on repeat customers and a few have that reoccurring revenue that lenders love seeing.

Hey! 

My assumption would be that you would have to update the property to meet Commercial Zoning codes and file for USE permits that are commercial as well.

Might be worth a call to the Zoning and planning agency in the area to see what it would take and the application process for it. Then you have an idea of what it would take and timeline just for their portion.

you could offer to pay the realtor what their commission would be and set up a monthly payment to them or a % down and the rest when you refinance. Essentially, do what it takes to make sure they get paid.

thank fully we can drive 40 minutes east or west be in the national and state forest were they have shooting lanes for public use for free. Tillamook forest

and cascade range we go a few times a month shoot pistols rifles and i have a nice clay pigeon thrower so we bust a few box's of clays as well.

lots of fun. I guess in your area pay to play is probably the way to go though.

I mean we are using our AKs and 7mms .. we shoot those in rock quarries were htey dug rock for logging roads.


 Aks, 7mms, shooting a few times a month, and real estate.... you need a friend Jay? haha


 I go with my son..  he has the big collection ..  I like shooting the clays the best.. Most of my subcontractors here all hunt deer and ELk and actually get them each year so I get all the meat I need.. I love that Elk back strap.. I go pheasant hunting is about the only thing I actually shoot.. and some doves. 


 That sounds amazing! I hope to do that more with my family. I have started to miss hunting, game just has such a good flavor to it, but hiking a random mountain just feels like home. I haven't gone bird hunting before but have done skeet shooting and fair pretty well with no practice

What are somethings that stop most people from buying a business? 

I think this will be a great way to build wealth and help most people with financial freedom, but it seems most people aren't taking the step towards this. I love helping those who are looking to buy a business and take the reins and wonder what can be done to help more people with this process.

For those who have bought a business; what do you wish you had help with or know now that you didn't know then?


For those who want to buy a business but haven't yet; what are some of your worries or roadblocks?

Thanks!!

Environmental idea would be to put down layers of plastic before you lay do the dirt, it may reduce lead and metals seeping down as a way to "protect the environment" in those areas.

Ask people to bring their cardboards to use as target holders and have a recycling can on site as a way to upcycle and recycle cardboard and other household items?

Just a thought here, anything over $600,unless paid with a Credit Card, and you will have to send a 1099. 

You could look at other designers in the area and see if their websites have any rate information and match that.
