Conversely if you have only decent ingredients but a great chef the dish can be made to taste great.It is as much about skill as the products used.

When current tenants move in, we leave a basket of cleaning items - paper towels, 409, dish soap, etc.  

Generally they dish these off to BoNY or whoever the liquidator is.

Didn't read all of it.Business brokerage is only the business.When you have a building you own and the business the value is different than buying just a business with the lease structure and rent increases.The appraiser will value it as if a lender had to take the property back the bank is NOT going to manage it themselves.A small percentage of buyers might but not a majority.So the bank underwriting the loan is going to plan for the most probable set of circumstances and be on the safe side with their assessments.If you want to do some owner finance with money down to replace your income with a cash out at a later date that might be possible.Many deals are happening that way.Lending standards on businesses have tightened up leading to owner finance and this is also with real estate property as well.Not many want to put down the cash or meet the requirements the banks are dishing out.So I hear your arguments but the people lending the money for the buyer will not care.If you want higher money go owner finance (within reason) but if you want it all now expect a much lower price.With businesses it comes down to how old the equipment is,is the business seasonal (the owner is showing strong books for half the current year and then sales plummet),is the lease fixing to rise,are the streets fixing to be reconfigured to reduce traffic flow,is nearby new businesses reducing returns,etc.

Extreme example; inspector cited a landlord for not having a soap dish for the bathroom sink.

I want to open a restaurant in the next ten years because I thoroughly enjoy cooking for others and creating amazing dishes.

However, investing is a bit like cooking; cash flow is just one of the ingredients needed to keep things moving, but it’s important to consider other factors to make it a tasty dish.
