@Terry Evans I think your approach is great, you have an outstanding understanding of what you need to get done!! 

Concept requires minimum cooking so no need for the expensive kitchen requirements (hoods, grease traps, etc)Looking for a high traffic area with national anchors with a young affluent demographic anywhere from 1,000-1,800 sqft.I would also be open to an up and coming trendy part of town visited heavily by young professionals or a food popular food market stall.Have $135k in Personal SavingsAnother $25-$75 in business loans and/or angel investingSolid credit Low 700's with extremely minimal outstanding overhead expenses So what I would like to know is how feasible is it for me to get the kind of space i'm looking for and what should I be doing to strengthen my credibility over the next year?

If property isn't vacated.Question raised about security deposit,,nothing done with that till the eviction is over.. the rent is owed, damages / repairs probably owed, and court fees, the deposit is applied to outstanding money owed, and move out statement is mailed out with demand for payment upon receipt to last known address (where they were evicted from) postmaster will either forward or return,, at that point you decide to follow up in small claims court.

@Mindy Jensen how about a Grammy with an outstanding potty mouth, excellent writing skills and good proof reading / editing as well?

The deals sourced from the MLS were between good and very good while the word-of-mouth deal was outstanding.  

They have not foreclosed on the home and I suspect it is more like 14 years in default due to their being 14 years of outstanding property taxes.  

Yeah, my flooring guy gave me an outstanding price.  

Property was listed on MLS and noticed there was a legal filing from CHASE mortgage for the outstanding balance of $88,000 within 15 days.

Jay Hinrichs, my Dad would but he is retired and has a mortgage and outstanding debt...so I don't know if that would help or hurt the scenario. 

Joe Mullis is outstanding!
