When does buying the business & real estate make sense?

Typical self-funded searcher here. Lenders, help me out, please!

RE for sale with biz, and due to the nature of the business kind of hard to separate from the opco.

When does it make sense to buy the RE also?

How would it work? SBA 7(a) for the biz and SBA 504 for the RE? What are the pros and cons?

I thing anytime you have the right opportunity is the right time to invest in real estate! Purchasing a business is not for everyone, but if you put your mind to it, you can do it!

Purchasing a business together with real estate might make sense if you're having trouble with financing, banks love to have some stability and collateral when real estate is involved, and you don't have to worry about landlord issues. However have a reputable appraiser work on getting on that.
