Jimmell J Swan Best Loan Options For Beginner

@Jimmell J Swan I second Andrew's notion... financing the property in your own name will give you access to far more loan options. and if it's important to you to put your title in an LLC (my partner and I have each of our rentals in its own LLC and an umbrella policy) (we're paranoid like that), it is possible to purchase a property in your name and then transfer to an LLC -- with your lender's knowledge and without triggering a due on sale clause.

Mike Neyman Where did all the good REO deals go?
21 March 2011 | 13 replies
/Dec)Many banks for the last 6 months have been testing the market and pricing even the messed up homes at full retail value.Trustee sales over the last 6 months got very VERY competitive and investors were bidding up homes above 80% of value, this caused the banks to try pricing REO's higher.I have no idea if I am correct or not, but I do know that times have been tougher to lock great deals so far this year.

All of this and many other factors need to be considered running a restaurant.The biggest issue a one off restaurant faces is food quality and pricing.Small places can't order in massive quantities so do not have long term food contracts locked in at a set price like chains do.Instead food cost fluctuations can hurt a small restaurant plus the quality you get from a supplier might be good one week but the next a new company came in to the food supplier and gave them a cheaper deal to use their product and try it out.The new product may be better,the same, or worse.The problem is you pay the same price and charge the customer the same price as before but it might not taste as good.I don't know how you will buy this restaurant as you have no experience as an owner.You can't just open a restaurant and expect people to come in.A few will but not enough to make a great business.You have to pound the ground and press palms and get the product with free samples into people's mouths.This will generate buzz for your restaurant and create customers with a relationship.Customers are habit creatures.Get them a great experience,great food,decent price and you will get repeat business.
