Well Dealman, it sounds like you've got all of the angles figured out and us "ignorant people" just need to shut up.

My mother in law is new to the world of entrepenuership and has dreams of owning her own restaurant.

I really thought I needed one, but I ended up getting everything I needed from books and people on this site (whether they knew it or not).Now shut the hell up and move out!

You've got to have an angle to get in the door for an appointment. 90% of the time you will hear, "its taken care of", and the door will shut.

Let me restate, the buildings have no character, there are no parks around, no infrastructure that would draw me to live in that sort of environment (ie great restaurants stores or trees).

And since I also work at a restaurant, which most of my wages are under the table and do not appear on any W2, they cant take my word for it.I am wondering if there is any other means of obtaining a loan that will work with me and my current finance situation, without getting to creative.

Pay up or shut up - I guess we gotta keep paying!

Fun new restaurants opening or the same old run down Chinese food store on the corner that you wouldn't eat from if your life depended on it?

Plus, last time I chcked, they invented AC and it's everywhere: house, shopping, car, even mistifiers to be cool when walking from car to bar to restaurant or store.

I am looking at a commercial property for sale with one tenant (Chinese restaurant) on a NNN lease.
