How fast in the principal note returned?
Strong entertainment offerings will return the original note in as little as 14-months and as much as 18. Due to the fluid nature of the social entertainment arena, extending the window of ‘initial return’ much beyond 18-months increases the overall risk substantially. These are not long-term investments. 2.5 to 4-years is the average lifespan, but sometimes more in smaller markets due to less competition and slower overall change in entertainment climate.
