I found a Subway Restaurant for sale in Swan Hills, Alberta. Recently built. Rent is 4,000 CAD a month.

There is tons of real estate in Canada of this sort. Recently built sitting around rotting.

At first glance it looks like a good opportunity, but my suspicion is that it’s a terrible investment and I was right. Swan Hills is a dying town with shrinking population and even had to be evacuated recently because of forest fires.

High rent, low demand, and long-term decline in the local economy make this a trap for anyone thinking of buying in. Even with the equipment included, you’d be stuck paying thousands in rent each month in a place with almost no growth prospects.

No smart person would buy this.

How much are you willing to pay

I don't believe in paying rent. You should buy the building so if you buy the building anything more then 70K USD is too much because the reason most businesses fail is because of high rent costs. Landlords are the only ones winning.

There is plenty of good buildings under 70K especially these days as the economy is declining. The problem is most people don't have 70K up front so they are stuck paying rent which leads them to failure.

Landlords always win but Bitcoin is now killing the real estate business so landlords are in trouble too.

Mar the landlord
