I started with a porty with lots of competition. Made me a better cleaner!    
Could somebody just clean my carpets!

Good point, but starting with a TM gives you an advantage right away. We cleaned with portys for years when we did mostly janitorial. Then we decided to change directions and do mostly carpets. Never looked back after I bought my first TM

Dont take baby steps...go big or go home....
 
I would say get a porty if you are not committed...but if you know this is something you're going to want to do... get a truckmount!
 
When I started out I had no one to tell me or show me....I wish I had saved time and went for a truck right away...
 
it took me a whole 4 weeks to realize...LOL
 
This forum has helped....hey I'm doing my fifth commercial job ENCAP...I can't believe it.
 
we are all professionals here...been there done that...
 
wish you all the best of luck no matter what you get
