Businesses should strive to maximize profits.  

It is what it is and you have a business to attend to.

They have very deep pockets, and if you you are looking for them to fund your business and don't mind working for free, they can keep you going until you burn out.

I agree that networking is your best bet and aligning with a mentor is a great idea.

Charles,Welcome to the BP forum I am in Florida as well and its a great time to jump into the REI business. 

Ultimately, the property is part of a business, I am trying to get creative so i don't have to purchase it all at once.Thoughts?

All the new houses we've put on Section 8, the guy tested every single outlet.As a note, it's against all the rules, especially in the rental business to have three prongs on ungrounded circuits.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $5,000 This was a property my wife and I purchased to live in while fixing it up with the idea of renting it out.

I am looking to move my real estate agent/auctioneer business into the land niches (agriculture, residential and commercial). 

I own a lawn care business and I have a goal to have 80k by the end of the year.
