Also, scroll through the BiggerPockets podcasts and listen to 4-5 that are focused on how people got started or on specialists from various ways of investing—flipping, wholesaling, buy-and-hold.My concern with most seminars is that you'll learn a few tips, but then you'll be pressured into paying $1,000-10,000 for more education that will really teach you all the "tricks and secrets to massive success."

It was just the slab on a pretty small footprint, but was still more than 10k Unless it's the deal of the century with a guaranteed massive return written by Zeus himself, I wouldn't repeat that experience.

I have basically joined this group for the networking opportunites and the massive source of information (this is after spending $2K on some ridiculous 3 day investment seminar that I was convinced I needed only to end up teaching me an hours worth of information that I didnt already know boo!).

Massive house being renovated on the corner of Duke and Hale with a second floor.  

Like pretty much everywhere in the country, we've seen a pretty massive run up in prices this last 18 months.

That's a massive difference in payments.  

This forum is massive and a bit confusing.

All of this and many other factors need to be considered running a restaurant.The biggest issue a one off restaurant faces is food quality and pricing.Small places can't order in massive quantities so do not have long term food contracts locked in at a set price like chains do.Instead food cost fluctuations can hurt a small restaurant plus the quality you get from a supplier might be good one week but the next a new company came in to the food supplier and gave them a cheaper deal to use their product and try it out.The new product may be better,the same, or worse.The problem is you pay the same price and charge the customer the same price as before but it might not taste as good.I don't know how you will buy this restaurant as you have no experience as an owner.You can't just open a restaurant and expect people to come in.A few will but not enough to make a great business.You have to pound the ground and press palms and get the product with free samples into people's mouths.This will generate buzz for your restaurant and create customers with a relationship.Customers are habit creatures.Get them a great experience,great food,decent price and you will get repeat business.

Many large companies hold massive holding under one company.

Still a massive savings in time and hassle.
