Ask the bank (orowner) for an estoppel certificate showing the actual deal between the landlord and tenants.That grocery store takes alot of juice to run it, check the electrical service carefully for code compliance in an older building.

That is for you to decide if "the juice is worth the squeeze".

That's the way I would approach them, can'tcount on them but if they happen, then you need to belly up...

Or the Uverse folks at Ma Bell, I mean AT&T or similar.Or for Internet, you get one big pipe into the building and either just put a simple router and give each one a cable in the hand, or you go more fancy with a router/firewall combo that gives you three separate networks etc.You could then even go that far to offer other tenants Internet at some good price, although you have to be careful with the super suckers and Netflix watchers.Otherwise:- Motion detecting switches in bathrooms, storage areas, maybe kitchens with shut-off timer- Used furniture if you need to replace.

The liability involved would expose you to unnecessary risk, if your numbers show the business to be viable, and it goes belly up.

I got burned by someone who went financially belly up, and the bounced check notice showed up 2 weeks later - a large amount of money, of course, not oen of my small units.

I have to admit that I follow a similar idea but just within the context of selling it for the most I can within an exclusive market of serious cash buyers who can close very quickly with absolutely no belly aching.

I am kind of lost with what you are explaining.Are you saying you bought into a business that went belly up??

It's riskier, but given they're so cheap, you can afford for a few loans to go belly up when you focus on this strategy.
