Your only market would be the professionals who are working during the day and don’t get a chance to see natural sunlight other than weekends (like myself) or people looking to vacation. ---

> [@walter](#): > > I have no idea, but I’d think that going in to summer would be the tanning slow season as everyone opts for the natural variant, no? Those guys on that tanning show on E or whatever seem to make bank… slow season is the time to start a venture…so you can be ready for high season. Last thing you want to do is get everything together, work out the bugs, find your niche, then hit the low season…then wait for 6 months to start making any money. I have another venture i’ve been wanting to start for a couple years now… personally ready now, but have to wait until winter since the high season is no doubt…sping/summer/fall. As far as that show on E!.. the people who live in Hollywood…actually WANT to look good. Buffalo is full of sloths who are happy being sloths making the market not even close to comparable. ---

Why pay about $10 per person to feed them healthy food you have to cook when you can just go to McDonalds or Wendys and get a burger, fries, and a drink for $3 ---

tanning salons attract hot young women. i know of a former multi-tanning-salon owner in Niagara who had a regularly revolving cache of young hot women who would trade free tanning for regular sex. bad for marriages, great for boners. ---

> [@Johnnylude](#): > > WOW… so you’re basically offering a single-net lease. That’s very generous of you. Usually landlords do triple net NNN leases and charge CAM (common area maintenance) on top. This means the tenant is responsible for utilities, a share of property taxes, insurance, property maintenance, and some repairs. This is a great deal. If I didn’t live so far away I would seriously consider doing it. Thats huge. I had to get out of a deal recently because the landlord was a crazy old man. Now he is a crazy old man with an empty building and much less money coming in the door. > [@Geehee](#): > > gangbang = bad news, but 100 people could say they are interested on here, 5 might show up, 2-3 might have the money to do it… That is always the case. Everyone thinks its great to put up a grand or 2 to purchase something small. Guess what. For 4 guys to get this off the ground, you’re looking at over $10,000 each. You have to create the LLC (which I would recommend) and that is a time consuming process. Don’t do it online. You need to make sure you’re permitted to even do what you want to on the property… Then you have to buy everything, pay employees and pay bills… lots of bills. And then realize that at the end of the month when you have more bills to pay, you haven’t made shit yet. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay the bills that month. There are several monthly expenses I’m sure you guys aren’t even thinking about right now. The business opportunity I turned down was a very valuable learning experience. What I learned on the deal was worth every penny I lost. The bright side of it… there are a couple of smart and resourceful people on this site that could make something like this happen. And it could be successful. I’m interested… but for all the wrong reasons. ---
