I own a lawn care business and I have a goal to have 80k by the end of the year.

Even 5% annual compounding is $3.5m in 30 years.I don't know what you'll be able to do or plan on doing, but my main point is to focus on how deals can go wrong or how a deal can be plumped up artificially with a few small tweaks in underwriting so you can properly decide if a deal is right for you or not.
