That way you know you're building something the right people want =)On another note, I just bought a STR in Olive Branch that we're about to launch.

I even gave you the olive branch and acknowledged how butthurt new investors can get.

(Southaven, Olive Branch and Horn Lake). 

Olive Garden, I know this isn't QSR).  

Quote from @Oliver Powell: Hi everyone!

To extend an olive branch there are plenty of bad real estate agents that also push things onto their clients, but those individuals work under a broker who carries a fiduciary duty to their client.

Darden Restaurants, the parent of Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, is making a significant move by acquiring Chuy's, a Tex-Mex chain, for $605 million.

@Oliver EvansStarting small and allowing investments to grow over time is a successful approach.

Another thing I like to do is go to the Olive Garden or Carrabba's around 2 in the afternoon when they are not very busy and order just a coffee and sit with the contract and read it. 

Some areas may have restrictions that could complicate things, particularly around who can provide alcohol and to whom.If wine isn't an option, you could consider alternatives that are still local and personal, like a handcrafted bottle of olive oil from a local farm or even a basket of locally sourced snacks.
