Re: Buying a new salon. have questions.

Wether you have the money or not, Is not the question here.

How many people does the salon see in a day in season ?

Whats the bed line up ? rent ? utilities ? Insurance ? Cost of lamp changes ?
Money spent on advertizing yearly ? Labor ?

I've got 27 units, See well over 300 people a day in season. Whats mine worth ?

Re: Buying a new salon. have questions.

yes i have the 220k. i have seen the salon make over 3000 in one day. We have very good customers and a lot of traffic. i know a lot about math..i have had my fair share of math schooling since i am majoring in Radiology about to become a M.D.. i know the business end. i was just asking everyone opinion.

Re: Buying a new salon. have questions.

You asked our opinion without giving us any information, leaving us to assume you had no idea what you are doing.

Is the building included in the sale? that makes a HUGE difference on if its worth it.

making $3k a day is great...it also matters on your overhead. are the beds paid for? how old are they? etc

You asked us for opinions then get mad when we ask you for more information.

Re: Buying a new salon. have questions.

In todays economy..take the 220K, invest in rental property...with forclosures a high rate, prices/rates at its lowest, some great opportunity. In 10 years, recoup more than what a tanning salon will give you. For that money, I could buy about 6 good properties..

INVEST don't REGRESS!
