All the things on the menu and I pick something I can cook at home, but great.It’s your money, your right, even if you’re wrong.    

Food, Taxes, property Insurance.

Just some food for thought, stuff I wish I knew when I was younger.

Cook county has a bunch of confounding factors that make premiums horrendous here.

We used to do granola bars, but we've switched to Kind Breakfast bars because they're similar to granola bars, IMO better, and being a breakfast bar, it makes for an impromptu breakfast with coffee and tea (provided in all properties) for guests who roll in late at night and wake up with no other food in the house.

Hi everyone,I’m considering buying a 2,500 sq ft commercial property with this deed restriction (in place until 2037):“Neither Grantee nor its successors, assigns or legal representatives, lessees, or sublessees, shall conduct or permit the conduct on the Property of, and the Property shall never be used for:(i) a grocery or convenience store selling at retail any food or food products, dairy products, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for consumption off the premises;(ii) the retail sale of any food or food products, beer, wine or other alcoholic beverages for consumption on or off the premises.”My plan is to use the space as an event venue (birthdays, weddings, baby showers, etc.), where renters bring/cater their own food and drinks.

The Class B-/C type neighborhoods, where the typical tenant has reasonably steady jobs, has some choice in housing options, isn't going broke needing to decide between rent or groceries (to the aspiring investors reading this: food will always trump rent).

Italy wine and food is better.
