It should give you a good taste of what the business is like, before venturing out on your own.I don't know one thing about company, but had an interesting discussion with one of their franchisees one day and that particular one seemed to be struggling.   

Each of us came into the venture with our personal LLCs.

i couldn't find any agents on BP close to the town, and we live in northern New England so its not exactly a day trip to go see it, although we can fly standby on any airline (a benefit we plan to use to our full advantage in this new venture). so this would be a long-distance investment... i guess i should call some local lenders, property managers and agents to see what they think?

We are in California and yes, we have a pest control company that specializes and guarantees rat eradication.   

I had a wire crossed in my brain, consulted my controller and 100% agree with your response.

Best of luck as you venture on!

Having zero money to out down means you don't have the self control to use money properly.

I'll pocket over $120K for other investing ventures I want to do.

Youll find some in Takoma Park (rent control in the city limits so be aware of that) then in DC proper.

The effort included a retaining wall design, grading plan, water/ sewer, underground utilities, pollution controls, drainage, quantity of materials and construction specifications.
