It is going to take you 6 months just to get the plans approved by the city. Then it will take another 6 months to build the building. If you lease a building you can be growing by next week. You can then take profit and plan and build your dream building while you are generating income.
Not planning on building in a city because of regulations.
The whole reason I'm looking for cash is because I don't want to start that way. Your reasoning makes sense, but not with my plans.
