I bought the ring on credit that will be paid off next month when the feast is strong. 5 years ago I would go eat at my mother's house because I couldn't afford food during the famon.

Purchase price: $3,100,000 Cash invested: $240,000 Farmers Market with 14 food vendors and 13 apartments above.

However, even the office space is crashing, it's very specific too, it's specific to office for the tenant that's sensitive to interest rate factor such as the one located in bay area and NYC as they're caters primarily to finance/tech sector.

Karen, do you work for food?

Additional food for thought is saving some of the cash flow for repairs you may need. 

(so would cater to WSOP, Zappos / downtown crowd, CES folks needing extended stay, doctors on rotation, etc etc)-The eclectic, 60s retro-factor allows it to photograph well for online marketing and I think it would be a very appealing and "fun" home for a brief stay in Vegas.Of course, I'm worried about extended vacancy gaps since I don't have an STR permit to fill those in, and I have no clue what to expect for an average monthly rate.I believe this home to be a solid long-term hold and has the potential to generate significant cash flow in the meantime with the correct strategy, so I'd really like to hold onto it and make it work.Thanks all!

2) the job market is excellent and people have gotten a lot of extra cash 3) inflation has hit salaries as well as housing prices. 4) Rates are still low by historical standards. 5) the people making food money are REALLY making good money—a real have and have not situation

Or a "your food/ my food" type deal?

We have a beautiful mix of cultures, cities/towns within cities, suburbs, luxury pockets, and fantastic food to name a few things.

If I would have bought there instead of the various neighborhoods I currently own, I may have doubled my net worth.So every Investor has an Opportunity Cost if they can invest in a neighborhood, but for their own reasons, such as not receiving cashflow from the beginning, they invested elsewhere.Hopefully I have given you food for thought.Investor Llew
