It is a lot like believing a 12" sandwich from Subway is healthy.

The most sick example I came across was in Marin- no joke, and completely by chance I met a couple, who own a subway shop next to Costco. 

I'm looking into small business now, like a franchise (subway) or small mom/pop pizza location.

It depends on where you live .If you live in Detroit and can get the locals deals then that is probably a great deal long term150k of capital is just a start.. you could also buy 2 subway sandhich shops work those they would make you 100k a year net  and after they are paid or double that.. better than any RE with less risk  and I don't work for subway

Robert, I don't do Sandwiches, unless they're from Subway.

In my mind, the pros are its 4 blocks from subway, a straight bus trip to center city, walk-able to E.

He also eats at Subway, forever frugal.

The backsplash is 3 x 6 ice blue glass subway from a local tile store.The hardwood flooring is Lumber Liquidators Grey Mist Bamboo (2.00 per sq ft).

I have friends that knock it dead with subway sandwhich shops .. and one with a bunch of papa murphys take an bake... 100k will buy you a store and will make you at least 50k net a year..  

I was next to a liquor store, after hours, cheap chinese food spot...and a bus stop.....a subway stop.
