It used to be the beer was used to sell food but now the food operation just gets in the way with the explosion of microbrews across the US.As for how to value this business the build-out seems very nice but without an existing restaurant operation I am not sure how you would be able to properly value.

The percentages really just don't work and never made sense to me as things like food, gas, childcare all cost the same no matter how much you make. 

Great input and food for thought. 

That, and @Devin Beverage's suggestion of looking on Meetup for other local events that cater to the investment community.

That won't really help your friends, but I think it's food for thought for all of us as investors

Beach properties and food sounds like a win win situation to me.

You need to have working mechanical otherwise they will just do a larger contingency Exterior work can be done yourself unless they are not in compliance with HUD You can always go with a very low grade material for floor covering just to get through inspection.Lastly, some food for thought, unless you do not have the capacity in your budget because you are restricted by the loan or your DTI/Income, money is cheap and if you can have someone else do it now and you can place your time in your core job to earn more to be able to buy more, why not just let them do it.

There's a healthy balance there, but good food for thought.(4) Focus on the 1 Project and shut your mouth about the pipeline.This makes sense and albeit counter intuitive is the right approach.

My plumber was swamped trying to clear his schedule for turkey day, so, I gulped down some food and off I went.This one was a bad one.
