    Anyone Look at a Refi Lately?

    REAL ESTATE 
    We are currently about to reset a 5 year term on a commercial 20 year amort note, and it looks like we will trim over 1% from the current rate. It will drop at least $160 a month into our cashflow, and the bank officer had not one bit of a problem with our overall revenue stream, even with a...

    What mobile phone do you use?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Blackberry. Pictures & e-mail to communicate with my property manager regarding units, text for quick info bites to my business contacts. Weather channels before travel. ESPN in a quiet moment. I do hate being connected 24/7 regarding some things, but I just leave it behind when I go out...

    Why franchising is not the best move

    Absolutely, frustration is a common thing. :nonod: So, let me ask you. If/when you move on and start your own brand spanking new organization and begin to build it, will you look at some of the frustrating things you have already dealt with and laugh? You will, because you will have already...

    Why franchising is not the best move

    That may be the case for you, but in some cases it can be a great springboard onto the next level of true entrepreneurship. If you can use one as a learning resource (not unlike this forum), sometimes you just need a push to get going.

    Why franchising is not the best move

    I see people in the early 2000's dreaming of working for themselves at a time when credit was super loose. Not a suprise that around 1/3 of these operations bit the SBA dust. I would have bet a C note that it would be even higher. I am sure that it came as a shock to some franchisees that turn...

    I have on offer you can't refuse,..or Else

    This is the point I think is very relevant right now. Obviously, people are feeling pressure and seem more willing to go to the middle ground. But, so far, that attitude has not moved into the body politic. Locally, we have a mayoral election coming up, and I am very interested to see at this...

    I have on offer you can't refuse,..or Else

    With the current fractured opinions from all the different interests that have input at the state and federal gov't levels, do you ever think we will really see a "common good" consensus anytime soon?

    Question for thos who overleveraged to get in the game

    REAL ESTATE 
    I worry about this every day, and I am not overleveraged. But when units are vacant, the fact is your leverage to cashflow ratio goes up.

    Your Threshold for Sacrifice

    I would guess most of the people on this board who have ever dared to reach beyond their safety zone have done a version of this "what if". Probably more than once. I don't consider myself good at setting goals or working a plan, and I can think of 2 times in my life I have done something...
