Great points from @Doug Smith and some I will be leveraging in my own work.We do some "pitching" of startups to landlords and while not a 1:1 comparison we generally also leverage the credibility of the team or consultants that the startup is using to mitigate their risk. 

It is possible to buy too many too fast and put yourself in a financial hardship.Have you ever heard of a startup store that done real good and added another store that done good?

I found my self with a million dollar startup with no money and realized my success was contingent on companies hiring me or people investing in me.

You are going to find this quite difficult in the start up..

For those who are unfamiliar, PadSplit is an affordable housing tech startup that provides a house-sharing service for working people.

There are several large hospitals, universities, technology startups, and a diversity of small businesses.

I also invest in startups.

First of all, I was told I can count the money I spent on the course as startup costs for my business and deduct that from my taxes and PCS told me start up previsions are 100% deductible.

And a lot of start-up companies are migrating to this city as well because of the OSU campus that has thousands of talented students graduating and looking for positions locally.

There is almost no understanding CPM- several multimillion dollar coliving start-ups have FAILED b/c they saw the demand for coliving w/out seeing the need for a respective form of property management (see HubHaus, Common, Starling, etc).
