Fibro

Sounds delisous.........The only time I would ever get to Indiana...... is if they have a Hockey Arena..........but if time permits for you.......I would not give up your part time job.  Carpet Cleaning is like feast or famin......ups and downs are a constant you can count on.

I was ready to do just that when I found out my friend was interested in selling. Like I said if I did not know the guy and he wasn't so willing to help me keep his accounts I would not even consider it.

I have seen his books the money is legit even if I was a total idiot and didn't look at the books the bank would not give me the money without them seeing his books. This guy is a friend of mine I porbably would not consider it if I did not already know the guy. Thanks for the input everyone.

What partime job do you do..........making that kind of money in two days

Its a catering and fundrasing company. I do on location cooks with portable cooker. I usually average over $20 an hour. You may wonder how they can afford to pay that much. I can cook for instance in 6 hours a 1000 halves of chicken. If the cook was an hour away I would make $190 the customers bill be close to $3000. So the company can pay me fairly well and still make a ton of money.

Exactly. And then the buyer is stuck with the old owner operators crap that is worn out or on it's last leg.

Yeah Doug everybody has one. I think the point is that none of us want to see a guy new to the business get burned or stuck with jacked up equipment and accts that don't exist.

Well at least I don't. Some of you might ;)
