Just one more idea....And while snowballing can go pretty fast once you get a few paid off, this strategy would probably take longer than ten years to accomplish, however, so take that into account (but maybe saving 1M would too, not sure of your financial capabilities).

This will get you familiar with the town and see where the growth is happening and who the major players are.  

Most big players use services, but a few are so big that they bring the printing in-house.

If you are (or if you know of) a professional who needs a 6-8 week project and are capable of running this, please reach out.

You will learn who the real players are when you attend faithfully either locally and online. 

If done right, scaling is possible to the extent of our interest and capabilities.
