Ryan was kind enough to let me share this track. here are his original show notes..... David Barnett has been an owner, broker, buyer, seller, and everything in between. He’s written a dozen books or so about buying and building companies. This is a fun conversation. We dive into questions such as… — Are small businesses a better investment than properties? — Is this a good business? — I’ve heard you can buy a business with zero down. Is that true? — Are there businesses I can buy while keeping my day job?
