Frustrated preschool/daycare/tutorial center operator

Last quarter of 2008 brought promise to my dream of opening a preschool that will eventually become a powerhouse grade school. I had an investor that I prepared the proposal for. The 400 surveys printed and distributed for a price yielded zero reply, only that of a tutor who expressed intention of joining as one. The best news received amidst the setback was the developer of a subdivision okayed the idea of a homeowner with the intention of putting up that educational venture. The other developer turned the idea down.

Fastforward a little more than half a year. The investor ruled out buying the building. Let us test the waters first, he said, by leasing a house for a year. And so a month ago I asked whether there was a house for rent, the agent said yes there was. So this was a better deal than having to purchase the building. Asked whether converting it to an educational center was still ok, she said yes. After three weeks she said no more. The go signal last year was a come one for an early buyer, but since there were lots of homeowners already, the developer said to look for commercial space instead.....wrong timing....just when I was red hot to tell the investor we still have the available residential house for rent. This is so frustrating.
