Not only does it bring employees with it and hires local talent, but it also provides a stable population of consumers who need services such as restaurants, auto repair, hair-dressers, etc.

I've got a right to fly on an airplane or eat in a restaurant without taking in your tobacco smoke.I hate seeing all the filthy cigarette butts all over the ground.

If you own a restaurant and buy pasta for $1 and sell a plate for $10, you don't say pasta is a great investment with a 1000% return!

Let a few more people low ball her, get on her good side with brownies cookies, maybe even a gift card to a restaurant for lunch or something... and you'll win out on the end with great reviews from her and the property.

It's just like buying restaurants as a business. 10% margin doesn't do it for me and not even 20%.

Love the airport there flying in over the bay... there is an instrument approach that takes you over the spit and turns you back in.. and the burgers at the restaurant are nice.

After arriving and a quick lunch at an awesome 6,500 KRW buffet (with fresh vegetables growing outside the restaurant), we were off to see the first property.

If their customer base consists of mostly independent retailers and/or restaurants, then I would be very cautious and be looking for a sizeable risk coefficient.The good thing is that once a retailer (large or small) is invested in a POS system {most of which are very proprietary}, it takes a lot for them to change-out their equipment {I say that, but I have a customer who has changed their system three times in the last decade}.

For example, in Old Town Orange, CA there's a restaurant called the Abbey which I believe was once a church.

RE is kinda like restaurants.
