When they see that having a cleaning crew come in will cost them $200 (or whatever), it gives them a good incentive to minimize the destruction.

To me that is the biggest risk, not knowing what the local laws are and how to set up your paperwork to best address the laws.  

I plan on making the biggest local real estate site in san diego for buyers/sellers. 

Biggest concern i have right now is when is this market going to roll over...3 years ago i felt we were going to get another crash.

I have offered to buy out the owner, but I am sure the place is paid for & he has no incentive to sell.

The construction work is mostly cosmetic with the biggest items being fixing a deck and kitchen rehab work. 

Education and action are the biggest requirements for anyone.

If one partner wants out early what would be some strategies to let him out but there has to be a financial incentive to stay in right?  

This is my personal biggest falling with my web site.The rest is window dressing, in my somewhat humble opinion.

Conversely a business could do 500,000 in sales and have a net profit of 220,000 before taxes each year.The biggest component when I look at buying a business is that if it's a job or an investment??
