Think like a bank

[spex x]

Yes, I invest in small businesses. I work both with start-ups and small businesses that wish to expand. Basically, I buy shares of ownership for cash. I only work with small businesses in traditional fields - dry cleaners, laundromats, car washes, restaurants, specialty services, etc. Its pretty fun. I also invest in real estate, although, admittedly, I keep it pretty simple - buy and hold residential property. I'm expanding more and more now into commercial property as well.
