However, if your long term goal is to purchase a building that may take two years or more depending on how much money you have and how fast you can pay for the building itself. After that you’d have to tend to the restaurant meaning you’d have to get a permit, fix anything up if needed, and buy the table, chairs, carpet, and other necessities.
