However, it’s not just the training that I needed to pay for, but it was also the travel, the food, the lodging during the training, and don’t forget the opportunity cost of not working during the week of the training and missing out on that income.

Add another 300 for hotel and 200 for food... it's not the end of the world.

I have to pay for food and travel, but the cost of entry to those events is very low.

We got a limo-van tour of 3 properties, we had snacks and some class time at Phil’s mansion, we got hotel food in a private meeting room, and we got a steak dinner at Perry’s Steakhouse and Grill.

It's a very different investment outlook if it is Wal-Mart or fast-food chains vs. a factory or a large service firm.

The last two storms tell me that no food map can predict with any certainty!

Certainly your residential tenants would love a food place.  

Some food for thought. 

@Clayton CoombsTaxes are a privilege of those who work for a living—-welfare and food stamps is a reward for those who don’t work. 

I found a food and water bowl in the back yard and in the kitchen.
