If I’d put that same $200k into an index fund, I’d get maybe $20k a year.
It would take 8-10 years to get it all back.
This new location should produce $150-200k in cash flow over the next 12 to 18 months
At that point, I could put the $200k into the stock market….or roll it into another shop.
Now I’ve got another cash-flowing business that should continue to produce $150k-200k per year (with zero debt btw)
Obviously, this is an apples-to-oranges comparison
Stocks are passive.
Business, especially auto repair, is HIGHLY active.
Our team works their butt off to produce these results, and there is also the risk that we lose money.
But once you build the operating machine, the math isn’t even close.
And unlike a stock ticker, I can wake up every day to make the investment better.
I just released a behind-the-scenes video of the whole transformation:
Cheers!
