Then as an investment it does not make a great deal of sense. You have to buy all the kitchen equipment which means its immediately devalued because its `used`, you probably rent a property so that is lost money every month, you pay for the franchise so you do not even get the chance to build a marketable name of your own. Your only chance of success as a pure investment, is if you make the business work, and even then you have to consider what return you are getting in exchange for risk and amount of work put in.
Guys down is Brasil are buying Apartments when the property has not even started to get built, they wait 3 years for the property to be constructed and then sell for 50% more than they paid, or, they keep the Apartment, rent it out for a thousand or more per month, and their investment just keeps increasing while they earn a living from it. No work, very little risk, solid investment.
One guy I know, paid $90,000.00 3 years ago, now worth $260,000.00. Is going to sell and re-invest in another Apartment.
