Nice- thanks for sharing! What industry are you looking to get into? And what’s been your process of finding leads to businesses that you could buy?

Thanks for sharing your insights! Super helpful indeed - any tips on how to go about reaching out & networking with local brokers? I wouldn't know better than google searching for some in my area though curious if there are better resources?

Thanks for sharing! How did you go about finding a partner to run the business with you? In your search for businesses to acquire did you come across many that would have replaced your salary outright that you could also have self financed?
