This is kind of my introduction on BP as well so hello there ☺ Hi Ray,If it were my (opportunity), and if I wanted to own it, I MIGHT say to Father, and Aunt, "Sell it to me" and I will pay you X per quarter (based on X amount of business) and X+Y based on X+Y amount of business, and X-Z based on X-Z amount of business until it is paid off 100%.Then work hard to pay it off according to schedule in order to own it 100% (realizing there may be fluctuations in the payments due to business fluctuations).I would also talk to a Tax CPA about what kind of tax savings this might be for Father and Aunt, and be able to tell them that part also.I'd also have a deal with them that if they were to become demised before the bill is paid to them in 100%, their portion of the bill is canceled (talk to a Tax CPA about this too re your tax situation).If you buy something like a 7-11 you will be a corporate clone slave who has to do whatever the parent company says.
