Having a famous former owner can add value, but it really depends on the person and the buyer pool.

I am a co-owner of GSP REI and the Vice President of Investor Relations.

I'll likely be higher priced on an owner-occupied restaurant franchise, but you've been around the block and have a significant track record.

I was approached by Avantstay and wondered if anyone in this forum has had experience with them from owner point of view. 

Working on an owner finance deal and I'm curious what technology you use to keep track of payments and amortization schedules.  

We have done The Fizz Shop in Illinois, The Popcorn Shop, a dog kennel, and even a clothing store.

I just didn't know where to put the service dog on the lease. 

Purchase price: $98,500 Cash invested: $15,000 owner financed on duplex, bought from a friend of the family. hopefully many more to comeHey @Jeffrey Eschbach, welcome to the BP Forum!

When you look them up make sure the owner isn't a LLC and that there primary address is not the same as the property you where looking at.

@Duarte MarquesPossibly but highly not recommendedFor those with no real estate experience or experience in taking on debt, it’s not easyTo do it also with little to no down payment or reserves in most occasions will end in disasterReminds me of when in high school a friend used to let his dog drive his car.
