The question would be if you paid all cash for the property and the numbers continued as they are what kind of return on your money would you get?

$41,000 / $205,000 = 20 percent.

The next question would be can you continue the numbers at their current rates or perhaps even improve them? Is 20% return on money a good investment in your eyes?

If the answer’s yes then go for it.

1 ice-cream parlor open six months of the year April 1-slept.
-did $113,756.00 gross in 1999
-net $41,000
-taxes 1787 a year
-owner is asking $205,000 for parlor with 3 parcels of land zoned commercial (about .3 of an acre total).

I looked at his last year tax return so I know these # to be true. but I’m still not sure on how to determine price?

any and all ideas would be a great help.

thanks
