Does the farm include the house?  If so, what is the condition of the well and septic system?\nHow many acres?  Are there any restrictions as to the number of animals you can raise on the acreage included?\nWhere are the boundary lines?\nAre there any restrictions from the landlord as to what you can raise on the land, including crops and/or animals?

a good commercial realtor could help, also just drive areas where you would like to locate and then ask other tenants and people in the neighborhoods

try looking on the net, or asking around, or go to a local horse farm and see if the owner will comply with what you are looking for.

Have you looked into a bed and breakfast or possibly something in the outdoor recreation field?  Campsite rental organizations are often looking for live-in managers, they provide housing and they often will allow you to buy into the business.  It also allows you to learn how this industry works and how to make it profitable.\n\nThere are work at home opportunities as well, you may write me for a description of some. jstdadd@yahoo.com

I have great success renting out my properties by visiting the nearest office buildings to my rental and putting up a sign in the employee breakroom that says "Live close to work!". I include a map of my place so they can estimate the distance and know the area. Of course, add pictures and give your contact info. While you're there, you should see if any of the companies are interested in corporate housing. \n\nThis works great cause you know the applicant has a job and people are willing to pay market (or even above) market value to spend time with their families or being able to walk/bike to work.\n\nRegards...

It doesn't matter where you reside, look at the areas surrounding your immediate cities and other surrounding areas.  \n\nI find that purchasing raw land 10-15 miles outside a city normally works really well and is the land is cheap in most instances.  \n\nDepending on how much you have to invest and the cost of land near where you live. Try and buy the minimum of 4-5 acres. A good size property to purchase if you are a small time investor as I am would be 10-20 acres, developers will purchase those type all the time for single family homes.  Make sure that you get from the county the zoning of the property. That should not really concern you as you are planning to sell it anyway.\n\nDon't be concerned if utilities are not built to your property as of yet, eventually the city will build the utilities out to where you are. You must continue to pay property taxes on the property and any improvement tax assessed by the city. If they build the utilities out and past your property, you could be accessed a utility tax, sometimes this is a one time tax, other times it is done over a few years depending on how the local govenrment vote on the payment.\n\nI find this to be an excellent way to build a trust for my grandchildren's education.\n\nYou will find that being a land speculator is a good business and not only that but profitable. As you gain more experience you can and would want to go out further, bank the land. I try and sell about 10-20 acres per year or more. I try to purchase about 50-60 acres per year.\n\nI don't know if there are any land properties in your area but try this site they sell land and the sign up is free. they also have a booklet you can receive in the mail.\n\nYou should always look at a piece of land before buying it.\n\nwww.landauction.com\n\n \nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

If its a privately owned plot of land all you have to do is go to the recorder of deeds in your area. From there you can research each past owner. I've done it and its lots of fun! For a public area just go to your local historical society.

Try these:\nWhy are you selling?\nWhat is the weekly turnover?\nHow much S.A.V is included in the sale price?\nHealth certificates for all equipment?\nDate of last health inspection?\nHow many staff and will they stay?\nElectrical equipment certificates\nVAT returns?\nWhich wholesaler do you use\nHow many customers per day do you get?\n\nOff the top of my head, anyway. Depends on where the cafe is, of course, and what your target market is. Hot or cold food? Eat in or take-away etc.\n\nConcentrate on the health and safety part as well as the commercial part. Without one, you cant get the other.\n\nGood luck!

Questions to ask yourself:\n1) Why buy into a small business?\n2) Do you know anything about business in general and the specific business you're looking to buy into?\n4) Do you have the excess cash to do this? (Excess meaning you don't need any of this money to pay bills of any sort.)\n\nQuestions to ask the current owners of the small business:\n3) Are you going to be running the business or just providing capital?\n4) Are you going to be legally liable for actions the business does?\n5) What paying customers does the business have?\n6) Ask to see the business plan\n7) Ask to see the financial statements for the last several years\n8) Ask many, many more questions until you understand the business and what you may expect to gain from investing in it. (Including how long till you can see some return)\n\nDepending on your level of investment, you may want to hire professionals, such as a lawyer and an accountant to assist you in making your decision.\n\nI would not expect assistance from the state or federal government. You should be able to get information about doing business in the state.

Details about what kind of business it is would be helpful.  As a generality right now though, it would be good to get the word out by way of word of mouth and flyers.  Explain why your business is worth visiting (i.e. good food, helpful to the community, etc.)
