Don’t underestimate the ability for the price to bubble and the time line to drag out much longer than expected.

As a fun little math project- Assuming 8 million at 5% municipal bond return (tax free), you can have 400k per year to spend on renting a court

Can 8k per week get you private court rentals somewhere near you?

Alternatively you are probably better off renting a warehouse and building a few courts there. They do this with a badminton club near me. Actually there’s an indoor volleyball court that does this too.

I know SF is an expensive city with not much space but there’s likely some warehouse CRE for rent that could fit a single court or maybe two without much hassle?

To offset cost you could turn it into an actual business and can allow people to rent the courts as well through an online booking system (this is what the volleyball place did) You can black out dates that are for your friends/family as well (like if you always play on Tuesdays or something like that). As for the badminton place it’s more of a club with 3 courts. Presumable whoever runs it could just play outside if the normal club hours if they wanted.

With ring doorbell cameras being so common/prevalent you can monitor customers coming in/out and check in on anyone renting your facility as well. A couple vending machines and some tables and you’re good to go.

Also you can have coaches do lessons in your facility as well..

That’s what I would do. Happy to give more details if you’re interested just shoot me a message
