There are just soooo many factors that would go into the decision, but hopefully this may provide some food for thought.

Do you provide food at the events too? 

However, most of the job creation in this area has been driven in low paying service occupations in retail and food/hospitality, and if you have paid any attention to retail in the past few years, you know a lot of stores are in great peril right now.

My buddy is a commercial broker and found this property for us and thinks he can flip the property to a fast food restaurant or coffee place for 600K.

Louis would be willing to let me shadow a day, or let me pick your brain, I'd be willing repay with food, painting/small job work, manual labor, etc.

@Harrison Chiu So take my feedback as a grain of salt.  

Just some food for thought. 

The sign and food are not the best but the knowledge makes it worth the stop.  

If the answer is "no" then you should love, respect, honor them for all the stuff they've done for you BUT understand that if they haven't succeeded in their own personal financial world then their advice needs to be taken with a grain of salt. 

Anything they bring onsite (lunch, drinks, etc,), needs to go home with them (empty bottles, cans, paper cups, lunch /food bags, etc).
