Most of these have a small charge that is not for the organizer to make money but to pay for the location, snacks when provided, etc.The last one I went to (In August) had a presentation from an expert of Mobile Home flips.

It sounds like their are saying your use creates more potential demand than their was prior which is why they are charging a fee.Thinking from the landlord side, they are likely renting you a box, it will be improved for your use as a snack/restaurant. 

Campbell & Brannon, ask for Robyn SonisI've closed a bunch of deals there,  free valet parking, great snacks, and they do a great job

And if you realllllly want to add value you can offer to do something you see that could be a potential issue.When I worked in film I would always try to spot potential issues before they were a problem; Oh, look - we're running low on bags of beef jerky and I know that the grips will get pissy if there aren't any there for them to eat when they're on their afternoon break - better have catering head to Costco to buy some more bags of jerky snack. 

Some good questions in there most we have covered and is included in the Civil proposals we have been looking at. i thought the Architect and I would be primarily working together primarily on interior dimensions and then pass over the plans and have the architect work with the civil.Land has 15% covered by easement so we know only parking in that cornerand storm water management will follow neighbors plan likely as they have parking already set up.good point about barrier walls for either a trash bin surround, or for retainer walls for a drive in bay, correct? 

Technically no different than handing a child a snack, but lots of people don't see it that way.  

When I do these I usually bring some type of snack so they stick around long enough to hear my presentation.

The effect of those 4 things together is far more powerful than your 1st year cash-on-cash, and focusing on cash-on-cash can often seduce you into an investment that is riskier and returns less over time, or conversely, make you pass over a great opportunity.

I don't really drive for dollars anymore, but when i was doing it every weekend then we made it a family thing, got the kids slushies and snacks, breakfast, or whatever. 

The presentation will detail the acquisition, costs, construction, challenges and any other questions you many have.Water, coffee and light snacks will be provided.Looking forward to seeing everyone!
