I am still planning to hire one if I proceed. I am just looking for a set of site plans to see what it entails. It wouldn't be a copy/paste. I just need to know what to look for and what to watch out for before i decide to even purchase the piece of land.

Just based on the EBITDA you could probably get something at a better price point with more cash on cash return.
If you used the cap rate model on a 2.2 Million; you're buying at a 7% cap rate. You're better off buying something else more passive.
We have done 3 SBA deals last year and our...
