Anyone out there in the same situation but found partners to grow their business. 

They said no since I'm a schedule C, since my business is part of my 1040 return.

I like to preserve my karma and grow my business. 

Depending on the owner's situation and using a variety of negotiating tactics, my business partner and I have been able to get significant discounts while buying properties from those owners directly. 

It's a hyperlocal business. 

Curious - please elaborate.Unless the major businesses in the DFW fold and collapse, I would be interested in hearing why you feel DFW, independent to any other Metroplex would 'decline significantly'. thank you in advance for your candor.

This method evaluates the business through taking the income minus the expenses and then dividing the NOI by the trading cap rate.

You're going to learn a lot just by being around the business.

Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market.

You'll love it here and find many things to keep yourself busy with.
