I don’t think so.

Talk me into buying a business

 


Lee says I’m a party-pooper.

All my videos lately have been scaring him off from the idea of buying a business.

Is it true?

Do I have a bad attitude?

Or- Do I have more nefarious aims.

Reverse psychology? 

Maybe I’ve been replaced by a doppelganger?

Let’s explore the continuum from Conceptual to Pragmatic in today’s video.

Recession Proof Businesses

 


Just like nature, survival means adaptability….

Making and selling insulin is pretty recession-proof. 

But it’s not a business we can usually go out and buy.

So, if we’re limited to the world of small businesses, what kinds of things should we look for?

This week, we examine the characteristics of a business that can survive and I explain how I can teach you a way to give yourself an edge in buying during this time.

Are seller notes part of the downpayment

 


Ricardo asks some great questions about seller financing….
But part of his assumption is not correct.
It’s a mistake I’ve seen a lot of people make.
So, this week we’re going to address whether or not a seller financing note is part of your
down payment or not.
Why not, and if it ever could be.
If it were, what would that look like?
I’ll tell you and you may be surprised that some sellers will accept it like this.
