1.    You have imagination, a keen sense of adventure, and a need to make a change in your life!

   2.    Your home is included- no commuting time! Save with a 2-for-1 price! No home mortgage or real estate taxes. Write off the restaurant portion as a business expense, and the portion for the 3rd floor is a write off for your rental income! Let the 3rd floor income pay for your mortgage!
   Added bonuses: See the kids when they get home from school! No snow to shovel off the car in the am! And there is always ice-cream in the freezer!

   3.    This pristine moneymaker comes with all equipment, cooking and eating supplies, fixtures, and furniture as shown in the restaurant pictures, as well as food in stock. We’ll even throw in a barrel when we give you the keys!

   4.    3rd floor income $$$$: art studio, dance studio, loft apartment, physical fitness gym (think of the exercise climbing to the 3rd floor, café open after workouts……)

   5.    Rent out the 3rd floor loft/apartment for weekly summer rentals only- The Baseball Hall of Fame is 30 min. away. Visit www.cooperstownstay.com to handle all your advertising and booking needs. Prices start around $700/wk for the 11-12 week season.

   6.    Rent out the 3rd floor loft/apartment for college terms. Oneonta, 15 min away west, is home to Hartwick College (liberal arts & teaching) and to SUNY. Driving east on I88 to Cobleskill is another college - SUCO.
   There are many older students attending college full time who want to reside off campus. Or how about the new teacher relocating? The rental could go for $400-600 month. And would leave the apartment available for weekly summer rentals!

   7.    You (and your family) would be part of a community. The school is 2 blocks away on the same street. Be available for that play or concert your child is in, or for the parent-teacher nights.
   Do you want to get the kids off of the computer, shut off their cell phones, put away their game boys, unplug their head sets and shut off the TV? Get involved. Get them involved.
   You will be able to find the time to enjoy your family, take those little trips you always wanted time for, and still find time for yourself: how about a winter afternoon of skiing? a quiet afternoon fishing after lunch? an old fashioned drive-in movie on a hot summer night? a minor league baseball game after dinner? Or, maybe you want to play baseball? How about horseback riding? snowmobiling, 4-wheeling? golfing? bowling? boating? canoeing? hiking? Or maybe you enjoy museums and the opera.
   By the way, our back country roads are a great place to give the 16-year old driving lessons! No traffic! (Average length of time at the DMV is about 5-10 minutes tops!) Life is just too short.

   8.    Are you tired of that cranky boss? Of the commute and rush-hour traffic? Tired of the office politics, of not being appreciated, of being underpaid and overworked? Feeling guilty of not spending enough quality time with your family, the kids growing up, you and your spouse on different paths? Dissatisfied or depressed, maybe having a mid-life crisis?
   Maybe you always wanted to own your own business. You’ve dreamed for years of cutting loose from your established life, wanting to try out your ideas and dreams.
   Maybe you already own a restaurant, but your location is drying out your satisfaction and enjoyment. Maybe you work for a restaurant but are unable to plan and cook meals your way! Maybe you’ve wanted to start a husband-wife business, to team together. Or maybe, you’ve always wanted to start a family project!

   9.    You are ready to retire, or even take early retirement. The kids are grown, you can either join the senior citizens in Florida at 50, OR take your nest egg and buy an established café in pristine condition, where you can sit over coffee with your new neighbors, and chew the local gossip.
   Time enough for Florida later. You’re never too old to pursue that dream!

   10.    WHY NOT??? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????
LET YOUR DREAMS & IMAGINATION SOAR!!!!
