EX:1 - Starbucks: great corner location, drive-thru, 2008 build, lease expires in 4 years (2018), $625k price with 9% cap rate.2 - Long John Silvers: ok location (off freeway, mall and Walmart outparcel), older 1980 build, 20 year lease, $1.3 million purchase price with a 7% cap.

Even if you say the money was inherited and handed to them in a silver platter, someone some time ago had a process they fine tuned and worked to make it to that event.You need a process and you paid $7000 for what you thought would be an event that would grant you access into inevitable success, but the only thing you will get if they come through is an inside look at their process.As I see it you have two options:1) Bury your losses and stick with it and demand what they probably promised (an inside look at their process), then try that process and see i it will work for you2) Bury your losses and move on to find another process or create one yourselfNotice both options start with bury your losses.It will take every ounce of mental power to do this, but the lost $7000 should not be a factor in your decision.
