Property Search & Small Business Development Proposal

Seeking Affordable Commercial Property or Land for Purchase

Preferred Location

I am seeking affordable property opportunities in the Southeastern United States, preferably just outside city limits in county or rural areas where property costs are lower and future growth opportunities exist.

My goal is to purchase, renovate, or develop a property that can become a small business serving the local community while creating jobs and providing convenient food and beverage options.

Budget

Existing Commercial Building: Under $50,000
Vacant Land: Under $5,000 preferred
Property Size: Approximately 1 acre or more

I am interested in purchasing only and am not seeking a lease or rental arrangement.

Business Concepts Under Consideration

Option 1: Drive-Through Convenience Store & Take-Out Restaurant

A small convenience store offering:

Cold drinks
Snacks
Ice cream
Basic grocery items
Fresh-made take-out food
Coffee and breakfast items

The goal is to provide quick, convenient service to local residents, travelers, and workers.

Option 2: Small Neighborhood Bar & Restaurant

A casual, family-friendly restaurant featuring:

Burgers
Sandwiches
Italian dishes
Beer and beverages
Pool tables
Community gathering space

The vision is to create a welcoming local establishment where residents can relax, enjoy a meal, and socialize.

Option 3: Drive-Through Restaurant

A fast-service food concept focused on:

Burgers
Hot dogs
Sandwiches
Ice cream
Snow cones
Specialty beverages

This option would emphasize convenience, affordability, and quick service.

Alternative Development Plan

If an affordable commercial building cannot be located, I am interested in purchasing a small parcel of vacant land and developing a business using shipping containers.

Proposed Development

Approximately 1 acre of land
Two shipping containers converted into commercial space
Drive-through service window
Outdoor customer parking
Utility connections

Estimated Startup Costs

Item	Estimated Cost
Land Purchase	Under $5,000
Two Shipping Containers	Approximately $2,000–$4,000 each
Utility Installation	Approximately $5,000–$10,000+
Site Preparation	To be determined
Permits & Licensing	To be determined

Actual utility costs will depend on proximity to existing electric, water, sewer, and internet services.

Long-Term Vision

In addition to the commercial property described above, I am actively seeking opportunities to develop a larger campground and recreation destination.

Campground Property Requirements

10 acres or more
Located within approximately 30 minutes of a major city or retail center
Good road access
Utilities available or expandable
Potential for RV sites, tent camping, cabins, and outdoor recreation

The long-term goal is to create a family-friendly campground that supports tourism, recreation, community events, and future economic development.

Property listings, land opportunities, development partnerships, grants, and investment opportunities are welcomed.
