But, I don’t think that should be a very high bar for you especially if you are already studying and researching this at 18 years old and you don’t plan to buy anything until 2-3 years from now at the earliest.

So, unless the Seller is equally inclined to speculate (including the idea of accepting that same 20% deposit using say, a specific sized bar of gold at today's price), it's no surprise that most Sellers still like "stable currency", right?

They usually have a step down on that penalty like 3% year one, 2% year two, 1% year three and so on and so forth.So if you are buying a deal with the intention of rapidly increasing it's value in less than 24 months in order to refinance it and pull your cash out, you might want to go with a credit union for the acquisition financing because FCUs are barred from charging pre payment penalties.I could talk about this for hours about all the nuances but my fingers don't type that fast lol

For instance, using bank financing to buy in expensive places like California, Washington, New York or Illinois are really tough to cash flow.

I would say high-quality bedding, cozy outdoor spaces with firepits or seating, and thoughtful touches like local coffee bar setups.

I feel like it's a space where great operators can really clean up, since the bar is set really low, in my experience at least.
