It may be a lengthy process or it may not, so the sooner it gets started the better.

To further maximize your cash flow you can consider offering things like having food trucks come in during your busiest times and making the laundromat more of a destination- let’s say the Sam’s taco truck comes in and on Saturday/Sunday afternoon can turn over about $500 in profits, from that and the use of your parking lot for their truck- you could easily generate another ‘parking fee’ of $100/ weekend.

Double B's is building a new restaurant downtown, Bass Bay is looking at a new restaurant near 81st and Lapham, the owner of the beer garden is building a meat shop on Becher, a hot new coworking business is opening up downtown, a building on 68th and National may become the next event and food incubator spot, Paulies spent a bunch of money on expanding, Drunk Uncle just finished a renovation... 

This is great food for thought for someone trying to decide the level of engagement they are really wanting to have in their investments. 

Quick google search food for thought....

Not to mention its directly next to U Park (stable community) and the new Whole Foods shopping center and potential Purple Line.

People are nice, investments come at a great value, there’s plenty to do around town, traffic is reasonable, the airport is the fastest in the world to get through, and the food is off the charts!! 

One is a store front space that used to be a marine supply store and the other is a workshop/garage.We fully understand that it’s going to be at least a year before we can do anything with the commercial buildings but are planning on cleaning up the parking area in front to rent to a couple of food trucks daily.The property is located less than a mile from the entrance to a very popular state park and the food trucks will be able to capture that traffic during the warmer months.Ideally, one of the food truck operators will decide after a while to grow their business into an actual brick and mortar and we’ll strike up a mutually beneficial deal with them to lease the space.There’s no way to subdivide the property but I’m wondering if there’s any shot of refinancing the house once we’ve done the rehab so as to pull some of that HELOC money out.Another idea is to approach a local bank with the overall plan and see what kind of financing we could get for the entire development project.Thoughts?

(Food for future thought there).
