Looking to buy Business around Portland metro below $300k.

I made a few thousand less than expected but I figure that's just the cost of doing business sometimes.Based on my experience I wouldn't let the remote possibility that a homeowner might go into greed mode dissuade you from doing these deals.

We both run our own businesses but we feel that real estate will help make sure we both maintain our life plans of not needed to work as much any more.

I don’t see anything wrong with endorsing a business that is great at what it does.

Most businesses, property management or not, fail due to the lack of sales, not due to the lack of systems and phone etiquette.

But 2025 offers other opportunities that did not exist 10 or even 5 years ago - think AI and online businesses.

Even if you create a non-CA LLC, if you are managing the business from California, you will likely be deemed to be "doing business" in California and therefore likely subject to CA taxes.

They have been managing fine, although not too busy, I guess because of the market.

This is really going to depend on the state you are looking to do business in.

My business partner and I purchased a commercial office building a few years ago with creative financing.
