So, if we do nothing else, we get a 6% return.If/when we lease up the balance (to liquor/food/grocer) etc- we expect it will be 2x on investment.They key is to get time. 

Just food for thought. 

When food or gas or anything we need goes up, people have been conditioned to believe its a "good economy" when in fact all that means is the government gets richer, by collecting more tax. 

To me, the reason that this second scenario makes a difference is;1) I can leverage at a 4 to 1 ratio (25% down) and 4% interest and 30 year term instead of a 2.5 to 1 ratio (40% down) and 6.5% interest and a 20 year term.2) Mine is a seasoned ROTH account that I can take contributions out of with NO penalty or taxes.3) I have the option to 'put money back in a ROTH' with my SOLO401K at a rate of 25K per year or more so I can return the money I earn to 'tax free status' if I want to.Just food for though for those in similar situations. 

I'm looking for someone with experience doing ground up retail/fast food development.

Usually free food and free drinks.

After working full time through my school years, putting myself through college, progressing through a few unfulfilling desk jobs, then starting my own renovation business, then partnering in a food business startup, then growing the renovation business into custom new home construction that ultimately ended up in bankruptcy at the market crash, followed by working a couple more years with a small-but-prominent renovation firm in my area, then recently starting my own business again as a cabinet refinisher... well, I've learned a lot about business - most of it the hard way.

Usually free food and free drinks.DFW REI Network Investing Meetup - https://www.meetup.com/DFW-REI-Network-Investing-Meetup/ - Started in Bigger Pockets this group meets once per month.

FYI the cats look very healthy and they had plenty of food.

My tenants cover my my mortgage, utilities, food, and gas bill for the month......and it’s so easy.
