Anyone have a great place to find businesses to buy? I know just find one approach and throw down an offer but I'm more in the research stage to find out going rates etc.
Any advice on things to avoid is appreciated as well. thanks

There are business brokers for small businesses.

Are you looking for metrics or like a marketplace? Once is a business is listed by a business broker you're too late. I'm not knocking what they, but that's not where you find the best deals.

Price is determined by things like does the given business have intellectual property, or are they purely nuts and bolts? Are the contracts recurring revenue streams or one off sales? It's obviously more complicated than that, but that's a start.

It's owned by CoStar. Doubt it's been down for extended periods. Likely on your end.

Is your username referencing a character in The Fountainhead? I'm reading that book now.

Yes it is. Good catch. He plays a pretty minor role.

If I recall correctly, he is a capitalist that embodies Ayn Rand's individualism. Other capitalists in that book either don't or aren't consistent.

Correct! He is probably the truest capitalist in the book. Really creative and innovative businesses. I love the username. Good to meet another Ayn Rand fan.

I believe I saw a JohnGalt username on here once too. More obvious of an Ayn Rand name, but still pretty neat nonetheless.
