REal estate is Belly to Belly.. now with the internet and folks texting this art is being lost. 

@Jordon March -  Anyone will go for anything if the business plan is sound, the operator is a rockstar and the profit margin is fat enough.  

My fat wife might eat it too.

Remember the old saying: pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered. 

The profit doesn't get divided until the fat lady sings.

I'm told his large amount of fat saved his life and he was out of work for a couple months. 

It just seems unreasonable that i have offered everything to them (pet deposit, increased rent, special products for the cat to have it not scratch things) and still get a big fat no in my face.

When you do this it drives gross sales for which they get a royalty off of but it takes your profit margins way down.These companies on re-image costs, food costs, advertising costs, running specials sometimes get one over on the franchisees by building in fat over the top markups on products.

From some feedback on here, seems like you can build a California business that could result in ownership of a few fat cash flow and appreciating buildings.  

Now his butt is on fire LOL.Even more red flags.Let me guess, he wants to be paid in cash or if by check the check is made out to his name not a business, so he has no business entity, no insurance, no workers comp waiver for himself and certainly none for anyone if he brings a helper on your property.Hope none of this ever comes back to bite you, like he falls off his ladder painting your house, breaks his back, becomes permanently disabled, somebody gets in his ear about how he can get his doctors fees and and a fat cash settlement paid since you're responsible for it, and that's just the beginning of the issues that could come up.
