Quote from @William Hamburg: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) fix & flip investment.

If your home is priced fairly, the tenants will accept the increase because that's cheaper than moving to another place that rents for the same price.The grocery store owner doesn't wring his hands every time the price of hamburger goes up.

I hardly doubt that Mc Donalds or Burger King needs to show the IRS every paper receipt for every hamburger they sold.For my real estate, it is not worth trying to save a few dollars by playing with the books because we make a ton of money and I don't have the time, energy nor the will to want to try to net a few more dollars.

That burns my buns with illegals are asking for $25 per hour, tax free, and that is more than most legal Americans are earning when working at restaurants, or for Costco, Sams Club,  UPS, Amazon, etc.The problem I am having is my own employees do jobs for a percent, or commission and they were satisfied when them earned $1,000 to $1,200 per week.

Hamburgers used to be $0.15 in the 1950’s and are now $10-$12.

All the temperature danger zone stuff scares you especially with pepperoni, sausage, hamburger, cheese etc.

Run your numbers carefully to determine if a complete rehab makes sense on your bottom line.I would also suggest taking a look through some of the other areas around the city such as Hamburg (in the south), Cheektowaga (going east and near the airport), as well as Amherst.

Invite them to lunch (at a very nice restaurant...not a hamburger place) and have a list of 10 to 15 specific questions for them to answer.

The new fun ice cream place is Lulu's, which also has a great hamburger and curly fries.
