Hi Antonio, I know of a good roofing company Royalty Roofing.

I've talked to a number of friends who do royalty deals, equity deals and debt deals and combination deals.

Fussy soccer mom that walks up like she's royalty and demands to speak to the owner?

There was royalty deal on the courses, so I started getting paid royalties and as the company grew, the royalties went up and up.Eventually I was able to quit my regular job from a combination of the rental income, royalties and business income I was generating.I decided I wanted to have passive income so I wouldn't have to work again, so I started dumping all my cash into paying off my loans on my properties.I eventually paid them all off and that's basically where I am now.So,  I had a combination of income I made from royalties on Pluralsight, the appreciation of the rental properties and business income that brought me to the current point.There's more details, but that's the short short version.

I have cash flow income already from royalties from music that I have written that is in movies.

*Bonus: Doug donates all book royalties to military charities.The value of military pay and benefits far exceeds the actual dollar sign attached to them.

None of us are royalty or born to a special caste.

yep u can propose a contingency/rider that allows u to exit before lease terminates if your business fails during the lease term however it reduces chances of the PM/owner taking it seriously as they would then have to monitor ur monthly revenues (something many commercial owners do anyway in order to assess royalties due) or proof of lack thereof
