My question is what funding sources are out there, alternative or conventional, that would allow two people to buy an established banquet/catering business before it goes out of business?

Trends such a military spending/deployments, time of year (school  months versus summer months), and commercial activity (Tech Center/Whole Foods) all seem to impact the rental market in Newport News to a considerable amount. 

Ying Lan I am an agent that only caters to investors, and I am also an investor myself (rentals and rehabs).

They weren't built simply to cram as many house in one space, catering to commuters that drive back and forth to the city.

There is some food (or what was food a few years ago) in them and we do not want to attempt to empty them out. 

BP because it's an awesome place to learn more information about a subject that has a lot of facets and Denver because the weather is amazing, the food/art scene is pretty great and there's a lot of healthy/cool people that live here.

Just more food for thought.

Sure, you could argue that you'd be collecting rent from your tenants, but good luck finding a multi that has enough positive cash flow to cover the entire mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, capex and your living expenses, food, gas, utilities, etc.

I’m currently building a team to work with me on house flips and rentals, and I wouldn’t want this land I want for mostly personal use to mess with those goals.Some initial ideas on adding value to the property: -build a pond w/dock, add a food plot, maybe a small cabin to attract hunters/outdoorsmen-fence some or all of the area to make a small profit (enough to cover property taxes?)

Is any of the space livable...can you put a person in a unit while renovating at a discount that would automatically increase after renovation...can you get a master lease that would lease all your units at one time regardless of people living in the units or not...Food for thought!
