Maybe food for thought on the next time.

If it's not food, transportation, housing, or ABSOLUTE necessities, don't spend money on it.

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

Just some food for thought as you continue doing your research.

I typically call those with Mexican last names first.  

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. 

If you use a Mexican corporation, it'll have to file a tax return in Mexico and it'll be taxed on the net profit.This is to just to give you an idea.

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.
