[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 3595998, member: 60252"] There may be a huge benefit in only having $10k at risk. And it looks like you must lease the vehicles, so letting them 'age' may not be an option. If you can lease with little or nothing down, and don't have to spend $100k or more to buy the business, this could be a much better option. Imagine using your $150k purchase money and instead invest it in realestate. In most parts of the country, you could purchase 3-4 rental properties worth $200k each, appreciating at 6% average long term. That appreciation alone is worth $40k or so per year. Compare that to buying an ISP operation for $150k, with assets that are depreciating faster and bringing the value down. This Amazon offering should absolutely devalue the fedex ISP businesses. A $300k income demands a lot of effort and would probably take more than 40 fedex routes to earn that much. With Amazon support, hiring should be easier, and it sounds like you may have more control over who you hire. This will take real business owners, not the converted delivery driver running 5-10 routes, as hard as that is. [/QUOTE]
