One other good reason to get into small apartment complexes is the quantity of competition is lower and more in your favor.  

My partner and I are doing our first mailing this week.We're both new- never done it before.Gonna field the calls...stumble around a bit...and learn by doing.Our plan is to initially send 2500 postcards each month for the next 6 months- tweak message and list criteria based on response rate(quality and quantity).

My goals are to have the ultimate goal - quantity with cash flow.

They can rate the area as higher crime based off of quantity not severity.

Sketch out a floor plan and get dimensions of the rooms and areas etc where you can now put cost to quantities.  

Quality of NOI & cash flow is every bit as important (I'd argue more important) than quantity.

This one was a better class property and market area and in a growing area.So, now I pay more attention to QUALITY of cashflow, rather than just the QUANTITY.

If you need to install them in quantity you might as well install a steam boiler since the price tag will be the same.Good luck!

It seems to be a problem with pricing and not necessarily quantity, although I know the two are related.

All of this and many other factors need to be considered running a restaurant.The biggest issue a one off restaurant faces is food quality and pricing.Small places can't order in massive quantities so do not have long term food contracts locked in at a set price like chains do.Instead food cost fluctuations can hurt a small restaurant plus the quality you get from a supplier might be good one week but the next a new company came in to the food supplier and gave them a cheaper deal to use their product and try it out.The new product may be better,the same, or worse.The problem is you pay the same price and charge the customer the same price as before but it might not taste as good.I don't know how you will buy this restaurant as you have no experience as an owner.You can't just open a restaurant and expect people to come in.A few will but not enough to make a great business.You have to pound the ground and press palms and get the product with free samples into people's mouths.This will generate buzz for your restaurant and create customers with a relationship.Customers are habit creatures.Get them a great experience,great food,decent price and you will get repeat business.
