I currently own a couple Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory franchises, but have began to devote more capital and time to becoming more active in the real estate industry.  

Jude Children's Research Hospital in the Pinch District.During the executive session of the Memphis City Council today (Jan. 17), Paul Young, director of the City of Memphis Division of Housing and Community Development, presented the city's plans to fund a "new sense of arrival" over Tennessee's most traveled highway, I-40.Ideas to liven up the scenery included additions to Mud Island, including zip lines soaring above water and fire features — yes, fire.

He's in his 80's and still runs the property so finely-tuned it's like Wonka's Chocolate Factory- which I would have a hard time duplicating, which means my expenses for "unknowns" has to go up.

I even ask the cleaner to put out a bottle of wine and chocolates for each group, and guests love it.4.

Your deals are going to come from those places more than the internet or MLS and you don't want to be known as the guy who never buys a round or is penny pinching so much that even bringing a deal to is just going to be an exercise in how low can I go.Good Luck and you got this!

I know I need to look at financing to get through the pinch.

There goes my chocolate shake

The reason I decided to pay them (which wasn't much, less than $40 including chocolate for the cashiers) was that they were able to follow my guide lines using their system avoiding hours of online research and sifting through properties I wasn't interested in, and starting the relationship building with the ladies at the county office.

You can also ask the other units' tenants whether they recall seeing any carpet cleaning vans around the time in question - if they recall the cleaning company name, contact the company in person with a box of chocolates to get a copy of the invoice.  

If you're in a pinch, then filling it by the bedroom is your last resort IMO.
