This is almost like saying you open a restaurant and need to make separate bank accounts for payroll, utilities, customers, taxes, insurance, repairs, supplies, food, etc....Learn to do some bookkeeping and it will make your life, and your accountant's/cpa's life much easier. 

If not - I'm stuck renting for another five years or so (not the end of the world) to save up that cash, while still maintaining a sufficient personal emergency fund as well as a rental maintenance fund.Lots of food for thought here and I definitely appreciate everyone's input. 

I know this is dinner time, they have a food truck there with pretty decent options.

Thank you Joel appreciate your wisdom in the handling of this difficult situation.Gives me a lot of good food for thought.

If you put in managers and food cost goes up you are not making much money maybe 40k to 50k gross with high volume stores.I had a friend I have not talked to in years that owned over 20 of them.

BUT... there are PLENTY of people that want to sell their house even if the offer is lower.So people thing we just get really food leads...Nope..We get ALL leads.

Because while each serves food for profit, each is wildly different business from the next, they are not comparing apples too apples.     

Just food for thought are you doing this because you have a high net worth or because you read about it somewhere

I just moved to Ybor, anyone got a good food truck or cheap food spot?

. - Housing, utilities and food cost are around 14%, 8% and 6% compared to the national average making it a great place to live for families, college students and people looking to retire.- Charlotte has a high occupancy rate across the state and it’s hard to get tenants into it because if the house is properly marketed and maintained it will rent as quickly as a week or two depending on the price range and the location.- There is a high demand for high quality and reliable single family homes- Charlotte has affordable housing options- The median listing price per square foot is $244.
