My mom had all the "equipment" in a box.

I'm working a deal to buy $250k of capital equipment for $30k.

Small Business Administration (SBA) offers 7(a) loans to small businesses for a variety of purposes, including purchasing owner-occupied commercial real estate, refinancing existing debt, or financing equipment.

Potential renter assumes he can use standard modern equipment with a ground- that requires a ground or it wouldn't be there.

Will a good concrete company have access to the necessary equipment to grade and dig to prep the site or is it customary to have to rent that equipment for the concrete work to be done?

Successful fisherman know that 90% of their time and effort goes into planning and keeping equipment ready to perform and not actually hooking or reeling in the catch..often closing on a popular or active vacation rental (often in a competitive market) happens along the same lines (no pun intended).

Especially considering zoning approvals, permits for land development (Local and State) moving equipment in, then permits for individual houses before you can even sell or market.  

I had sewer backing up into a basement and sure enough the city had done work with heavy equipment and crushed the old tile line.

But I work with a guy that has all the licenses and equipment to do it .

I learned a lot that will equip me for my next deal.How did you finance this deal?
