Franchise circular calls for having 100 employees.

I shouldn't answer investor questions and I want people to read the offering circular before investing - not taking my word for it on a message board. 

That then spins me into logical circular repeting "do-loops."

I have decades in the food business before getting into commercial real estate.The offering circular has you keeping a minimum of 100 employees per location on staff.

Its actually a circular equation and the IRS has a chart so that you calculate a final number if I recall correctly.You can make se401k accounts with Fidelity for no charge.People/investors do use self-directed IRAs which allow them to invest in real property. 

@Greg Scott these opinion-related debates are quite stale and circular.

The bottom line to endless, circular discussions about buy vs rent and the ever present thought of, what if there is a better deal....all this comes down to the numbers.

I am inexperienced with REITs, but they don't seem very well capitalized from their offering circular.

However, any handyman is using a circular saw, router, and grinder, which can take a finger off in a hot second.  

I found that I've been trying to shove a square block into a circular hole, trying to be a 'professional home buyer' using sales systems I've learned over the years.
