Looked at some properties in the target location this past week. Two turned out to be wrecks that I was not prepared to have patience with, especially when one was so far from town. I'd like to have a location I could safely bike to and from downtown. One commercial spot I had my eye on turned up an owner. I had always wondered but no one seemed to know the address of the place so I wasn't sure how to look up the lot. Anyway I was able to get good info on the lot and the buildings as well as finding out he was putting it up for sale. Great location, just to early an opportunity for my plans. Now for once I wish I had my dad around because he had once been in process of opening a store. Though on second thought his experience would be several decades old and things have changed much and connections would be in retirement by now. Some money would help, but I hear having too much ready is a good way to burn it up fast. Better to watch the buying trend and struggle every step of the way! Its going to be a real experiment with the timing of things and then with my health.... woops, maybe I shouldn't mention it in case the investors read this (ha ha). Maybe I should move to China and open an American laundry.
