My Grandpa lent money to a friend which helped launch him into the Fastlane. Last year the man my grandpa helped bumped in to my dad.

The man would like to return the favor and is interested in investing if the opportunity sounds right. He intends to make money on the investment as well. It's kind of like a $0 down commercial loan.

We don't have much money to put up. The guy is willIng to invest up to $1,000,0000.

What's a good business to invest in? I have 8 years experience in running a gas station but the margins after paying the loan and expenses would eat up most of the profits in a gas station business.

The loan would be paid back in 10 years, 120 months, 7% interest annually.
