Instead of diving straight into business, I'd chat with property owners about their goals and challenges.

You should bring the lender your 'business plan' for your rad therapy business.

I'd think people with funds they don't need for 1-5 years and with trust in you and the business would be ideal candidates. 

If you want control of your business, don't do it!!!

It comes down to finding the best level of protection that fits your budget.When I sit down with clients, I always discuss (1) their personal assets, and (2) what their current investments portfolio and other business ventures are before discussing (3) their future goals.

I'm quite disillusioned with the situation here in Spain, and here are a few reasons why:- We have a socialist government keen on hiking taxes and undermining businesses.- We're grappling with the social phenomenon of "squatters", individuals who don't pay rent and the government allows them to live in your property rent-free for 24 months before eviction.- Spain's population pyramid is a mess, with sky-high taxes and increasing insecurity in many areas.- The rental yields in premium zones of central Madrid barely reach 3.5% - 5% gross due to government policies, such as the rental index imposed by the socialist government.For these reasons and many more, I'm considering investing in Miami.

Also, full disclosure - I have utilized creative financing & transaction structures (installment sale transactions, had the seller take back 2nd position notes, baked brokerage fees into the agrement of sale  in off market transactions to name a few), so I am not opposed to it, but they were utilized in very unique and circumstantial land entitlement transactions. 

While it would impact some business plans more than others,  its probably possible to function with 5-10% a year rent increases allowed and vacancy decontrol,   but if we get the more extreme variety like what the far left wants  (inflation or less for increases,   no vacancy decontrol,  etc)  it will be bad.    

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

We've been doing this and wholesaling mobile homes for the past 5 years and I believe we are on the verge of expanding our business into owning a park soon!
