Many mom and pop owners are not very good at keeping records, so we often find ourselves building out the financials ourselves.

I've heard of new wineries popping up, drawing even more attention to the region...curious if that has had a trickle down effect on residential building and growth there.

You will likely have 50 numbers pop up to start calling.The quick and dirty way, to be confirmed by and engineer: look at the floor joists in the basement (assuming there is a basement).  

How else can you truly prove you are the owner if someone else pops up in a year and claims it belongs to them! 

Every time I started seriously looking at a market, another one popped up that provided better returns, or lower price point, or slightly higher cashflow, or was safer.

We have always had good luck with that approach, especially with smaller town mom n' pop deals. 

Since he is from Wyoming, I will tell you my Wyoming story.I like to hunt and a free week popped up and bought a Pronghorn antelope tag. 

I see.Honestly, I've found, in general across all kinds of business fields, that small businesses "mom and pop" shops are either organized or not. 

It's pretty terrible.This company has popped up in my social media feeds, usually from people outraged at them.

The discount is going to be the mom and pop to more regional type tenants.
