I would definitely make sure they are fully aware of the risks they are facing and have a good idea of what kind of investor they would be in terms of "I just want to see you do well and don't care if you lose all my money" or "here's my last $50K and I desperately want to make a ton of money on this deal and will be checking in daily".

Hi Tim,The lower you go, the more possible rewards and the more probable the risks (personal and financial).At the lowest end, it can be less costly to get into the business, but you get "tougher" tenants and possibly not much appreciation.At the very top end there may be less risk and maybe less return (risk/return).In the middle there is a spectrum between the two.The question you want to ask yourself is how low in the tenant food chain do you want to go.Good Luck!

Just some food for thought...cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better.

However, for business B I might have to hire W-2 employees (for example, this business can be a restaurant, or a hair salon, etc where people work on a daily basis).

I would agree with her if it was a daily issue but it has only been like 10 times in the two months I had to walk to the back of the house for maintenance of some sort.
