So we drowned our “experience”  in food....tomorrow I get to venture out into Chicago’s polar vortex and blow my tenants snow!

In cook county illinois I found a property in foreclosure which has no heirs, and thus was given to the public administrator.

Occasionally, if they are repeat renters, I trade for gator, boudin or other fresh gulf coast food. 

I have a question and some food for thought.

Restaurant typically after food and labor you want to see rent to sales health ratio of 8% or less.So restaurant 4,745 X 12 months = 56,940 rent56,940 rent / 800,000 annual sales = 7.1% ratioRestaurant you want to check on reviews for yelp online, when restaurant was last re-imaged and updated inside and out, if owners have changes hands many times over the years, if FF and E (fixtures,furniture, and equipment) is leased or owned,etc. 

A rental property will make you as much money in a 2-3 years and then for years to come.Just food for thought...

This might sound a bit crazy but I delivered food for a couple of weekends in addition to my normal 9-5 job which was enough to meet the criteria of my own business in 2018.  

I'm just beginning to explore a tiny home village as @Ethan Cooke posted above.

I would still have a roof over my families head and could put food on the table.
