Building a restaurant is shockingly expensive, especially the kitchen, ventilation and fire suppression.

Building also has a commercial kitchen and laundry area.

Commercial lending doesnt have rules about unsecured funds use (credit cards, personal lines, etc) that residential agency financing has (fannie/freddie 1-4 unit).So where you obtain funds to consummate your equity (down payment) of your transaction is more flexible.Its one of the reasons to build a business that has a good credit rating so you can obtain money to build your real estate holdings. 

While being a full time college student and a part time boxer I've primarily focused on wholesaling, building a successful business with my best friend that did around $70,000 our first year in the business.Being from Illinois rules and regulations have caused us to pivot from the traditional assignment of contract.

There are a couple of builders selling new construction for under $300k. with 20% down and closing costs you could have a brand new HOME.Best of luck

"I checked the lease created through Zillow" - Anyone thinking about getting into rental properties should build there own lease.

The charges are mainly due to it being a vacant building. 

I know how to find a building owner using county records, so I cross reference for the most recent name on title.

I'm a real estate agent, investor and developer in central Houston (i build duplexes).

A half decent carpenter can build the cabinets and drawers in a day.
