Hi Jonathan,Congrats on your first big renovation deal—it’s an exciting challenge!

The best way to get experience is to do the thing.

I found my laundromat on BizBuySell, and I sold it through that site as well.I still absolutely think it’s worth networking with business brokers and doing direct outreach to business owners, but you don’t need to take listing sites off the table.If you’re sending out a lot of outreach messages on listing sites and you’re not hearing anything back, it may have more to do with you than the platform.

Pay the bill yourself, then reimburse yourself by charging the tenants based on a formula.

Do it again two years later and you'll be in the top 10% of Americans.

Its honestly going to come down to the numbers and what your end goal is?
