Step 6: Make An Offer.
Now, you MUST look at the last 3 years of "owner's total profit" (SDE).
Multiply the average by 2x-4x (deal dependent).
- Round down

- Negotiate and wait
Practice expectation management.

Step 3: Determine Your Goal.
Every investor is different.
If you want a more "hands-on" experience, something like a parking lot might not be for you.
Determine what you're looking for.

There are 1,000s of businesses to choose from.
Ask yourself:

I wouldn’t buy stocks.
I wouldn’t buy real estate.
