I’m opening a childcare facility now that’s a franchise. Happy to answer any questions I can on the topic.

Personally I would avoid restaurants. I would maybe do a niche desert type place.

I have a friend who owns a gym franchise too. He does amazingly well.

I’m also interested in this. Maybe not from the restaurant side but for other franchises.

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?

I have read all the books but want some hands on experience on the property management side.

I closed on a new build a few weeks ago and now the same home is available for much less with the builder offering all appliances, additional credits, and buy down of the rate. Is there anything I can do to get now? It seems unfair that I paid more and didn't get the incentives.
