I am working on various strategies but I'd really like to grow my understanding of the ins and outs of private money.

I stage only the main living room window because I like the natural light pouring in when the buyer comes to view the property.

However, when the economy recovers, I am concerned that the increase in prices will cause these cash flowing properties to grow less and less.

If they focus on making quality material and present well people will naturally come up to them at the end of the presentation.No hard selling needed or wanted.I attended a Jeffrey Gitomer seminar a long time ago before he was big.It was at the wold pizza expo in Las Vegas when I used to own a restaurant.

We are seeing more and more stories of this nature and I can't help but think (and fear?)

Owning our own home, growing old in it, and retiring off of it!

Depending on the chain they have a selected broker handling their growth and searches for them.The restaurant also has a builder that does spec work for them.Not all restaurants have free standing and some only have in line models.You have to see what the product mix is for the area.Example if 20 pizza places are in a 2 mile radius the saturation rate might be to high for a particular restaurant.They look at demographics,price for the land,required easements,traffic flow for time of day whether they are mainly a lunch driven business or dinner.Shape of the parcel for architectural work,flow,and what model of restaurant they can build there.Example a franchise has 3 size models.Data for the area suggest the biggest model.Your parcel would only fit their smallest building.In that case they might see about buying another parcel to increase size or find another location.Chain restaurants usually lease the space so they can free up capital to keep growing locations and their brand.

Without your help, this site doesn't grow, the knowledgebase doesn't increase, the deal making and partnership opportunities don't exist.

A washer or dryer you purchased on craigslist for$100 is not going to be expensed due to the nature of the property(yes I have argued that one).

I don't intend to violate any laws so I will figure out other ways to grow my company.
