Anyone dabble in these venues?

What a magnificent place to visit!

Any buyer considering purchase of your rental will surely include management in his calculations.I think you just sit on this one and enjoy the magnificence of landlording!

Don't know if your tastes run indie or mainstream or folky singer songwriter or jazz or...but here are the "Top 20 venues for music"http://wherela.com/blog/2015/01/21/top-20-venues-f...And then, if you're adventurous you can always make a midnight trip to the famous… The Smell.

Go figure. lol.Would love to hear someone with a success story in this venue.

My vision would be to have loft style apartments in the 2nd floor (it already is laid out like it used to be an old apartment) and have a main business on the first floor) Or even a venue that people can rent out as well.  

Who are the Magnificent 8?

What makes it different to other venues, is that this industry's pay off is worth what you put in--something that cannot be said about other industries as often.Good Luck TJ!

I am a Classically trained trumpet player, and I mainly play in local churches, for weddings, and other concert-type venues.
