@Jameliah CunninghamHere’s my perspective, as a lifetime Hershey resident: Central PA is a great place to invest with stable employment from multiple industries (a 10% lay-off from Hershey foods didn’t even make a dent).

For instance, a listing internet site for eating places can also additionally have classes together with Italian, Chinese, and American food.

With jobs, crime will reduce.Business coming back like Meijer / petco development @ 8mile/woodward, quicken obviously and all the companies with gilbert, arenas being built, whole foods, on and on are bringing jobs back.

Some additional food for thought.

I knew of several married couples that worked as cooks for some very famous fast food chains that were getting 103% mortgage loans because they could NOT afford the down payment.Is that the problem now?

Sounds like the equipment is the tenants, if so is there debt or UCC's on it. is so you can make a deal with lender and if you get a new food tenants yo take over payments, if not depending on what lease says and you do.

The more people have to share bathrooms, the less comfortable the housemates will be, and the more problems you'll have.A layout that makes each bedroom relatively private and isolated--for instance, a bedroom that's down a hall and around a corner from the kitchen is much more private than a bedroom RIGHT NEXT to the kitchen, living room, or other high-traffic area.A layout that minimizes the amount of traffic that goes by the bedrooms--for instance, a bedroom that's right next to the front door sees a lot more traffic than a bedroom at the back of the house.Multiple floors, with the bedrooms and bathrooms on separate floors--for instance, I have a 3 story house that has 2 brs/1ba on the bottom floor, 2 brs/1ba on the middle floor, and 1 master suite on the top floor--this makes it so that no more than 2 people are "living" on each floor, and one person (the master suite) has a floor all to themselves--this provides a lot more privacy and living space for each person compared to a 5 br house where all br's and ba's are on the same floor.Multiple exterior entries/exits in locations that allow tenants to come and go with minimal disturbance to the other housemates.Carpet greatly reduces noise, whereas hardwood floors (especially old ones) can be very creaky.A large kitchen with plenty of food storage space (and perhaps even multiple fridges and dishwashers) will be much more livable than a small, cramped kitchen.Sufficient parking will be important.Ideally, an HVAC system that allows each housemate to control the temp in their room would be great.Closely consider what types of tenants would want to live in the property.

The military pays for all housing, food and medical needs.

We did pay to have utilities turned back on and do now have 1 garbage bin which we have deposited all the rotting food from the fridge.  

There are several other fast food chains that have expressed interest as well.Separately, how much do fast food chains usually pay for 30-40k sq ft ground leases pad sites?
