 Episode notes 
Business Buying Yields Massive Income
- Business ownership delivers 'massive income' and leverage versus rental real estate's passive income framing.
- Focus first on cashflow to buy freedom, then pursue equity growth later.
Keep A $20K Safety Buffer
- Have at least $20K in savings and an emergency fund before pursuing acquisitions to survive the rough learning curve.
- If you lack funds, learn the process first and plan to raise or partner for capital rather than diving in unprepared.
Buy Size Matters
- Do not buy businesses under $1M because they often act like jobs, not scalable assets.
- Target businesses that can reliably return 3x your desired annual income in SDE to cover debt and take-home pay.
