If you don't have employees, that saves you money, but then you are basically living in the coffee shop.I don't know how much you need, but in my opinion, $15,000 isn't nearly enough.I know if I were representing the landlord, I'd want to see that you had a lot more that set aside, unless I was a desperate landlord who was looking for any tenants I could get.I actually have a client with a coffee shop and it's a tough business.I'm not trying to discourage you, I just want you to go in with your eyes wide open.

First thing - what does MarketMaker and your competitive set look like on HA? 

I can honestly say that I learned a lot over the 3 day seminar but was BLOWN away by the $35k/40k/50k asking price for the systems they set in place.

I'd recommend setting up some keyword searches so you'll be pinged on the topics that are of most interest to you.

If it is "warrantable", then it's an entirely different set of loans than if they are "non-warrantable". 

I’m in Philadelphia, so I set my keyword alerts for topics and subjects in Philadelphia.

If they are going to become your new tenants, it's up to you how you want to set up the relationship.

I have an active listing for a 25-unit multifamily property in Nampa, Idaho that currently is owned by a TIC/partnership and would be a decent property for a similar set up. 

My team and I are getting ours from a data provider who generates list and data for us with set parameters that we want like absentee or pre-foreclosure.

So that was the end of that.I'd love to meet someone who understands how to best structure setting up the investments and management side (LLC, etc.) and how to optimize for taxes, etc.Thanks so muchRussell
