I want to start a business. Moreover, I want to start a chain of successful businesses. It's retail but niche and there is definitely a market for it. I have very little start up capital but enough to create a small, 1500 sq ft shop and hopefully expand from there. And there are grant opportunities so I can save a lot of money. But the real estate question bugs me. I would like to own the building the business is in, but real estate is wicked expensive right now. However I'm looking at alternative real estate, such as old churches and historic homes. It's not cheap but there are revitalization grants available.
Do I start small and lease a year or two prior to expansion? Or do I go the McDonald's route and become a real estate company that sells burgers (as they say)?

What's your business and why do you need physical retail space?
