Only problem, they didn't do their homework, this wasn't an area where that sort of thing is actually sufficiently in demand to support that restaurant, at the prices they needed to turn a profit.

I defended the lady from much criticism, stating her math was off, but it was a creative offer, and a counteroffer could be a win win.

I would suggest you save up as much as you can while you are doing your homework to be able to bring to the table when you find a deal that you want. 

These folks often have "pocket listings" and different FedEx route opportunities, both on and off the market: https://capitalbbw.com/categor...Best to do your homework, and the first year is not the easiest, but once you get the hang of it, it's well worth it.

You just need to do your homework and know your market, add-value and sub-divide the lots.

lLook at your records for last year and do the math. 

Get an agent who understands underwriting and do your homework. 

It's a pretty simple math problem to run.   20% down on 139,000 gives you a financed amount of $111,200.  

And believe me, they are not shy about letting you know via emails to "Add 200 deals and mail 3x each for your first deal" That math spells out $249.00 per month if you set your mailer schedule to 30 days.

Sorry, it's some simple math.
