In round numbers, probably $125K invested.

I would imagine because cold items are not a year round draw like a Starbucks and a Subway would be in that area serving hot foods and drinks as a selection.

We had our 1st ever Meet Up in Orange County, CA last night at Round Table Pizza in Lake Forest!

One of my tenants in a fourplex I recently purchased, March 2014, has been giving me the run a round with respect to rent.

The example was hypothetical and used round numbers for simplicity.

They won't be impressed with guru stuff either, not off the bat.What will impress them is your actual knowledge of RE, your market, assessing repairs and valuations that may lead them thinking in conventional terms of selling at which point you can then introduce more creative solutions that may fit the circumstances and solve the seller's problems,To do that you need to know RE, not methods of putting square pegs in round holes, you need to begin with the basics in the principles of real estate and then evolve to higher levels to suggest sound solutions.Knowledge can overcome the obstacles you may find in being taken seriously.

Sellers/banks tend to look at the best all-round offer.

I also didn't have the typical water bill charges and such being that I lived in the property and made sure all was current before closing ( I suppose I could have put this toward the cost of the flip but since I was living their I paid it as a personal monthly expense)My numbers above were ~(about) numbers and rounded based on my memory from 5 years ago.  

I had a few children for the second round so I couldn't go for the multi.
