I did the bandit signs, and its alot of labor, little fruit....honestly, my mentors want me to get some bandit signs.

But I know there are some LA investors saying there isn't any fruit on the trees here, lets try somewhere else.

I will be 40 this year, and I am just now seeing the first fruits of my labor.  

I completely understand your lack of bids. 1) There is lots of work so contractors are picking the low hanging fruit.

If you are presented with a rotten apple, and you balk, then given a rotten banana and told to choose, would you be content that rotten fruit was being thrust upon you in the broader scenario?

Drain gnats or fruit flies?

Since there is no interest built into the payment - the payments have to be discounted more in order to suck out any juice!

That is comparing bananas and apples, both are fruit but are totally different form the size, insides, and shell.

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".
