After giving Alan Kirkham 5 months to right this wrong and come up with a fair resolution, we have been left in the dark with no set plans or expectations and no true point of contact, which is why we have decided to share our experience here.This whole experience was a huge disappointment, waste of money and time!

These are also great, but are generally going to be on the other end of the affordability spectrum from the above, and the rents/incomes reflect that.Regardless even if the restaurant goes dark, there are a couple good things to owning a restaurant building.1) single tenant free standing building are the top of what retail tenants are looking for. 

One older guy smoked as the younger dug the hole.

At that age I was busy smoking weed and feeling insecure. 

Add $800 for paint, floor covering and essentials plus my laborer for 2 days and my total cost was about $1400.I painted the 30 1200 to 2700 sq ft homes in Las Vegas with two helpers including ceilings and it never took more than two days to paint a house and that included removing all the electric wall plates, dropping ceiling light fixtures, removing smoke detectors, cleaning windows, installing new blinds, cleaning bathroom fixtures and it never took the 3 of us more than 2 days because I am good at knowing how to get the most from my workers like a Lakers coach knows which players to put on the court because the cost to do a paint job is not as critical as the time it takes because when I go to Las Vegas to manage a job I have to leave Los Angeles and my 20+ employees without my micro-management and "When The Cat Is Away The Mouse Will Play" if you know what I mean.I am a very difficult person to work for because I am 71-years old, a workaholic, a fast worker and when young workers are slow I fire them within minutes when they are working because I don't like to have to waste my time and stop the work I am doing to constantly check on my workers and I don't like to get emotional and have to keep correcting workers when they work sloppy and slow.

The videos are critical for the following reasons:Too often, the photos on the MLS do not reflect the actual condition of the property.Videos do not tell you everything - for example, a strong pet or smoke odor.

So, these smart-*** investors gave me a good "kick in the butt" - and I started investing my time on weekends, in the evenings, when there were no outside orders.By December 2019, the house was 80% complete, we moved in in May 2020, and I kept improving it until February 2021, when the kids got the second floor as their bedrooms and the basement as a gym for their workouts.The "dark side" of this process of living is here.

In much the same fashion as when we file permits for a large remodel they will quite often come back saying I want xyz additional work like adding hardwired smokes.

Anyway when the tenant moved out one dark and stormy night it ended up costing me a bundle!

And, as someone already pointed out, you will need to document that you have an egress window, show a smoke detector in there, etc.
