It’s actually not a problem at allI haven’t yet witnessed a leaner operation than ours or more profitable.Our profit margins are between 40-50% Average for PM’s is 6-10% and that’s why many have such low valuations.Another reason why we are looking toward M&A to grow quicker and optimize the acquired under our operation. 

I could also Airbnb it as an eco house as I will make sure air quality is optimal and buy organic mattresses but I'm not sure if Hagerstown would be a potential vacation destination.

I don't have a preference for age in terms working with other folks but young can be good from an energy, optimism and having enough time to put in the extra hours when needed (usually a younger person is not going to have a spouse, 2-3 kids and a bunch of other responsibilities).

I guess what I’m suggesting is that you aren’t coming in at the optimal time in today’s market.  

Consult with a real estate attorney and a tax counselor to determine the optimal transaction structure.Good luck!
