Episode Description:
In this episode, Michael, Heather, and Mills dive into a fascinating but frustrating $16M revenue business based in Virginia Beach, Virginia. On paper, it’s a dream: an oceanfront golf cart and low-speed vehicle dealership with high rental income and exclusive distributorships. But as the hosts peel back the layers, they uncover red flags like no SBA eligibility, murky financials, and a seller with too many side hustles. They discuss the appeal of lifestyle businesses in resort towns, what exclusivity might be worth, and the dangers of unclear cash flows. A classic example of “looks great—until it doesn’t.”

Key Highlights:

$16M revenue dealership selling golf cart-adjacent vehicles and earning $30K/month in rentals
Located in prime tourist real estate in Virginia Beach
Multiple red flags including no SBA loan acceptance and lack of disclosed cash flow
Seller has several unrelated businesses, raising questions on financial transparency
Discussion around dealership models, exclusivity, and rental income value
Insight on how these types of lifestyle businesses can be great—for the right buyer
Why this deal gets a “thumbs down” despite some appealing elements
