Hopefully someone could help me understand why some listings on sites such as Zillow do not have interior pictures. 

Kevin Welcome to the site Kevin.

I’m starting to bang my head against the wall trying to make anything pencil not knowing exactly what the property taxes will be but figuring it is the combined rate on the tax assessor’s site multiplied by the acquisition price.

Welcome to the site!

Didnt see prices on their site

I’m new so I’m not sure if these numbers are correct but I’ve done generally searches on multiple sites and 55k is about where they all land.

(this is not very likely because of your lack of experience and high LTV) This lender would be in a 2nd lien position and not very secure if you fail. 

@Bethany Rankin Will site give you property info, even if its not for sale? 

Between due diligence, rezoning (if applicable), site plan approval, construction drawing approval, offsite easements, permits, etc. it is a lengthy and expensive proposition.

The reason I mention this is that about 80% of startup businesses fail each year.Many dream of opening a business but have never ran one day to day so the ideals they have of what they think it will be do not usually match up to the realities.It's a great idea for anyone wanting to start up a business to shadow an existing owner in the field to see if it is really what they want to do.
