Everyone is going to tell you to go here, go there, flip a coin, eat some cheese, whatever...

Cash flow is certainly the meat, but depreciation is the cheese.  

You need to describe the type of business, like auto parts or ice cream store or shoe store.If there is no RE involved, you may be looking for financing of inventory, another aspect.Also, a more specific loan amount along with information on any other financing involved, what position is the lien holder going to have?

I've seen situations where they skim the cream properties for themselves and then try to wholesale the properties that are inferior and that they don't want to fix themselves, either because there is a potential low return or the property needs tons of costly repairs, or are in a bad neighborhood.   

In other words the cream always rises to the top, brains and ability gets rewarded.In even further other words - taking all real estate investors as a whole their average return rate would be lower than some of the individuals that make up that whole.

The switch plate covers come down to repaint and if they're old or cream colored they don't go back up.

I'm looking to connect with other investors in the cheese state and others who have experience investing in the US from overseas.So far it's been a lot of fun learning something new.

I sure can't..Ok enough of the cheese, if you're looking to invest in condos in the area, know that the HOA fees are sky high.

Somtimes I feel like a mouse in a maze, running full speed --hiting a wall, finding a opening --running full speed hiting a wall----etc:: I can smell the cheese ahead!!

This is exactly what a hamburger joint does when you want to add cheese. 50 years ago the cheese was included.
