Upon graduation from college I started work in the oil & gas industry 80+ hours a week.

We wasted several thousands of dollars with them until we realized that they weren't able to handle the project...After we fired them they turned around and offered me a job ;>) - I politely declined as I don't think the industry is setup to help us. 

It depends on what you are spending on the deal.Sounds like it is about 50% expense ratio at 54.55% which I think is along with industry standards.The net income looks like its $23,543 for the seller.What is his interest rate?
